Local knowledge for Bent, Otero County
In southern New Mexico's desert, Bent summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.
Most properties in Otero County get their electricity from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

Smoke Detector Wiring FAQs for Bent
Are hardwired smoke detectors better?
Yes. They run on house power with a battery backup, and when interconnected, every alarm sounds together, which gives more warning.

Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.
Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Bent home?
Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.
