Basement Electrical for Malaga homes and businesses
Malaga is plains country: big sky, steady wind, and summer storms that arrive quickly. Wind-blown dust works into outdoor equipment, hail damages exterior fixtures, and lightning surges are a regular cause of failed electronics.
Depending on your address, power in Eddy County typically comes from Xcel Energy or Central Valley Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
