Basement Electrical for Arenas Valley homes and businesses
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Arenas Valley means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Grant County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Depending on your address, power in Grant County typically comes from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Our basement electrical work covers all of Arenas Valley, along with neighboring Santa Clara, Silver City, Bayard, and Pinos Altos.

Do basement outlets need GFCI protection?
Outlets in unfinished basement areas require GFCI protection, and it is also required near sinks and in bathrooms.
