Local knowledge for Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, Bernalillo County
Los Ranchos de Albuquerque 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.
Depending on your address, power in Bernalillo County typically comes from PNM. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

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

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.
