Kitchen electrical upgrade in Taos
A modern kitchen needs at least two 20 amp countertop circuits plus separate circuits for the refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, disposal and range. Older kitchens often run all of that on one or two. We add the circuits, place outlets along counters and islands and wire under-cabinet and recessed lighting.
Bathroom electrical in Taos
Bathroom electrical work covers a dedicated 20 amp GFCI circuit for the outlets, good vanity lighting, a quiet exhaust fan vented outside and, if you like, heated floors or a towel warmer. Each one needs to be sized and protected correctly.
Wiring for new appliances
Switching from gas to an induction range, adding a wall oven or installing a larger microwave changes what the kitchen needs. We run the new circuit and check the panel can carry it.
Signs a kitchen or bathroom in Taos needs electrical work
- The microwave and toaster trip a breaker together
- No GFCI outlets near the sink
- Too few outlets along the counter
- Poor light over work surfaces or the mirror
- A noisy or missing bathroom exhaust fan
Electrical work in Taos and Taos County
Electric baseboard heat, radiant floors, well pumps and mini-split heat pumps all draw real amperage. Homes around Taos that add a heat pump or EV charger to an older service often need a panel or service upgrade first, and we check that with a load calculation.

Kitchen & Bathroom Electrical FAQ for Taos
How much does a kitchen electrical upgrade cost in Taos?
It depends on how many new circuits are needed and whether walls are open. Wiring during a remodel costs less than fishing cable through finished walls.
How many circuits does a kitchen need?
Typically two or more countertop circuits plus one each for the refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, disposal and range, and one for lighting.
Can you work with my remodeling contractor?
Yes. We schedule rough-in and finish visits around the rest of the trades.
Does a bathroom fan need its own circuit?
Not usually, unless it includes a heater. Fan and heater units often need a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
What customers say
They did the electrical for our restaurant build-out and worked nights so we could keep the other side open. Showed up when they said they would, every time.
Half the house went dark at 9 at night and there was a burning smell at the panel. Someone answered straight away, told me what to shut off and had an electrician out fast. Fixed that night.
Our adobe had wiring from who knows when. They rewired it in stages so we could stay in the house and were careful with the plaster. Everything is grounded now.
