Why Mora properties call a local electrician
Mora 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 Mora County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Depending on your address, power in Mora County typically comes from Mora-San Miguel Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
