Smoke Detector Wiring for El Prado homes and businesses
El Prado 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.
We provide smoke detector wiring throughout El Prado and in nearby Taos, Arroyo Seco, Ranchos de Taos, and Arroyo Hondo.

Can you add hardwired alarms to an older El Prado home?
Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.
