Sub panel work we do
Detached buildings are common around Rodeo, 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 Rodeo, Hidalgo County
Rodeo has long, hot summers and mild winters, so cooling equipment does most of the electrical work. Panels in direct sun run hot, exposed conduit and cable degrade, and afternoon thunderstorms in monsoon season deliver frequent surges.
Most properties in Hidalgo County get their electricity from PNM or Columbus Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide sub panel installation throughout Rodeo and in nearby Playas, Animas, Lordsburg, and Hachita.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Rodeo
Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Rodeo?
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.
Which areas around Rodeo do you cover for sub panel installation?
All of Rodeo and the surrounding Hidalgo County communities, including Playas, Animas, and Lordsburg.
