Why Chama properties call a local electrician
In the high country around Chama, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.
Electric service in Rio Arriba County is typically provided by Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
