Basement Electrical for Anthony homes and businesses
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Anthony means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Dona Ana County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Electric service in Dona Ana County is typically provided by El Paso Electric. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Basement Electrical FAQs for Anthony
Do basement outlets need GFCI protection?
Outlets in unfinished basement areas require GFCI protection, and it is also required near sinks and in bathrooms.
Can you wire a basement before the walls are closed?
Yes, and that is the ideal time. We complete the rough-in, have it inspected, and return to install devices after drywall.
Will I need a bigger panel?
Not usually for a basement alone, but we check the load and the available breaker spaces first.
Which areas around Anthony do you cover for basement electrical work?
All of Anthony and the surrounding Dona Ana County communities, including Chaparral, Santa Teresa, and Sunland Park.
