Why Counselor properties call a local electrician
Counselor sits in the high desert of central New Mexico, where strong sun, wide swings between day and night temperatures, and summer monsoon lightning are hard on wiring, breakers, and outdoor equipment. Many homes here cool with evaporative coolers or have converted to refrigerated air on panels that were never sized for it.
Electric service in Sandoval County is typically provided by PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
We provide basement electrical work throughout Counselor and in nearby La Jara, Regina, Cuba, and Lindrith.

Basement Electrical FAQs for Counselor
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.
