Recessed lighting services
Layout matters more than the number of lights. We space fixtures according to ceiling height and what the room is used for, keep them off the walls enough to avoid harsh scallops, and put them on dimmers. In Cerro homes with insulated attics we use fixtures rated for contact with insulation.

Why Cerro properties call a local electrician
Cerro 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.
Call us for recessed lighting installation anywhere in Cerro, or in nearby Questa, San Cristobal, Red River, and Valdez.

Recessed Lighting Installation FAQs for Cerro
How many recessed lights do I need?
A common rule is to space them at about half the ceiling height, so four feet apart for an eight-foot ceiling, then adjust for the room's use. We lay it out with you before cutting.
Can recessed lights go in a ceiling without attic access?
Usually yes. Slim LED fixtures need very little depth, and we can fish cable between openings.
Do recessed lights raise my electric bill?
LED recessed lights use a fraction of the power of old incandescent cans. Converting usually lowers the bill.
Which areas around Cerro do you cover for recessed lighting installation?
All of Cerro and the surrounding Taos County communities, including Questa, San Cristobal, and Red River.
