Outlet Installation FAQs for Ranchos de Taos

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Ranchos de Taos?

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.
