Smoke Detector Wiring for Las Cruces homes and businesses
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Las Cruces means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Dona Ana County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Most properties in Dona Ana County get their electricity from El Paso Electric. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

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