Why Tres Piedras properties call a local electrician
In the high country around Tres Piedras, 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.
Most properties in Taos County get their electricity from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
