How much does an electrician cost in New Mexico?
It depends on the job, the materials and the travel involved. Most of our work is priced by the job rather than by the hour, and we tell you the price before we start.
Do you do both residential and commercial work?
Yes. See residential electrician, commercial electrician and industrial electrician services.
My breaker keeps tripping. What should I do?
Unplug what's on the circuit and reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call us. Our guide explains the causes: why your breaker keeps tripping.
Do I need a panel upgrade to add air conditioning or an EV charger?
Sometimes. A load calculation tells you for certain. See electrical panel upgrade and EV charger installation.
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector or another Level 2 charger?
Yes, for every make of vehicle. See EV charger installation.
Do you install whole house generators?
Yes, including standby generators with automatic transfer switches and safe hookups for portable generators. See generator installation.
Is knob and tube or aluminum wiring dangerous?
Both carry more risk than modern copper wiring and both can be dealt with. See whole house rewiring and our guide to older wiring types.
Can you work on adobe homes?
Yes. Adobe, block and flat-roof homes need more planning to run cable, and we work on them regularly.
Do you work in rural areas?
Yes. Ranches, farms, cabins and remote properties are a regular part of our work, including wells, outbuildings and off-grid systems.
How do I book?
Call us. Tell us the city, what's happening and how urgent it is, and we'll give you a time. See the contact page.
