Local knowledge for Costilla, Taos County

Costilla is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Taos County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.

Electric service in Taos County is typically provided by Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Our outlet installation covers all of Costilla, along with neighboring Amalia, Cerro, Questa, and Red River.

Outlet Installation FAQs for Costilla

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Costilla?

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 Costilla do you cover for outlet installation?

All of Costilla and the surrounding Taos County communities, including Amalia, Cerro, and Questa.
