Local knowledge for Santa Clara, Grant County
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Santa Clara means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Grant County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Electric service in Grant County is typically provided by PNM or a rural electric cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
