Why Hondo properties call a local electrician
Hondo 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 Lincoln County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Electric service in Lincoln County is typically provided by PNM or Otero County 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 smoke detector wiring anywhere in Hondo, or in nearby San Patricio, Fort Stanton, Lincoln, and Glencoe.

Smoke Detector Wiring FAQs for Hondo
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.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.
Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Hondo home?
Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.
Which areas around Hondo do you cover for smoke detector wiring?
All of Hondo and the surrounding Lincoln County communities, including San Patricio, Fort Stanton, and Lincoln.
