Why Veguita properties call a local electrician

Life along the middle Rio Grande means hot, dry summers, sudden monsoon storms, and dusty spring winds. In Veguita that shows up as sun-baked exterior wiring, surge damage after lightning, and older panels working harder than they were built to.

Depending on your address, power in Socorro County typically comes from Socorro Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
