Sub panel work we do
Detached buildings are common around Raton, 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.
- Sub panels for garages and workshops
- Power for casitas, guest houses, and additions
- Barn, well house, and outbuilding panels
- Underground and overhead feeders
- Load calculation to confirm the main can support it
- Grounding electrodes for detached structures
- Clear circuit labeling
- Permit and inspection
A sub panel makes sense when
- Your main panel has no open spaces
- You are adding a shop with welders, compressors, or a kiln
- You are building an addition or converting a garage
- A detached building needs more than one circuit
- You want an EV charger far from the main panel

Local knowledge for Raton, Colfax County
Raton 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 Colfax County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Most properties in Colfax County get their electricity from your local utility or rural electric cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide sub panel installation throughout Raton and in nearby Maxwell, Capulin, Folsom, and Des Moines.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Raton
Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Raton?
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.
