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 Santa Fe homes with insulated attics we use fixtures rated for contact with insulation.

Local knowledge for Santa Fe, Santa Fe County

Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.

Depending on your address, power in Santa Fe County typically comes from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide recessed lighting installation throughout Santa Fe, including Casa Solana, the Southside, Tierra Contenta, Las Campanas, and Eldorado. If you searched for an electrician near Casa Solana or an electrician in the Southside, we are close by. We also serve nearby Tesuque, Glorieta, Tererro, and Lamy.

Recessed Lighting Installation FAQs for Santa Fe

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.
