Kitchen Electrical Upgrade for Faywood homes and businesses
In southern New Mexico's desert, Faywood summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.
Depending on your address, power in Grant County typically comes from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Our kitchen electrical work covers all of Faywood, along with neighboring Bayard, Mimbres, Hurley, and Hanover.
