Why Chama properties call a local electrician
At elevation, Chama sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.
Most properties in Rio Arriba County get their electricity from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide outlet installation throughout Chama and in nearby Los Ojos, Tierra Amarilla, Cebolla, and Dulce.

Outlet Installation FAQs for Chama
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Chama?
It depends on how far the new outlet is from an existing power source and what the walls are made of. Adding one beside an existing outlet is quick. Fishing wire through adobe or across a finished room takes longer.
Can you ground my two-prong outlets?
Yes. Depending on the wiring, we run a ground, rewire the circuit, or install GFCI protection, which is an accepted way to allow three-prong outlets on ungrounded circuits.
Where are GFCI outlets required?
Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, laundry areas, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, and all outdoor locations, among others.
Which areas around Chama do you cover for outlet installation?
All of Chama and the surrounding Rio Arriba County communities, including Los Ojos, Tierra Amarilla, and Cebolla.
