Sub Panel Installation in Gallina, NM
When the main panel is out of space, or when you need power a long way from it, a sub panel is often the cleanest answer. National Electric NM installs sub panels in Gallina, NM for garages, workshops, casitas, additions, and businesses.
Sub panel work we do
Detached buildings are common around Gallina, and each one needs its own properly grounded sub panel with a disconnect. We size the feeder for voltage drop on long runs, trench and install conduit where needed, and separate the neutrals and grounds the way the code requires.

Why Gallina properties call a local electrician
In the high country around Gallina, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.
Electric service in Rio Arriba County is typically provided by Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Gallina
Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Gallina?
If the main service has enough capacity and you only need more spaces or power in a new location, a sub panel is usually enough. If the service itself is too small, you need a panel upgrade. We run the numbers and tell you which.
How big should a sub panel be?
A garage or small shop commonly uses 60 to 100 amps. A casita with its own cooking and cooling may need more. We size it to what you plan to run.
Can you run power to a detached building?
Yes. We trench, lay conduit, pull the feeder, and install the panel and grounding at the building.
