Bathroom Electrical in Rio Rancho, NM
Bathrooms combine water, steam, and electricity in a small space, so the wiring has to be right. National Electric NM handles bathroom electrical in Rio Rancho, NM: GFCI outlets, exhaust fans, vanity and shower lighting, and circuits for heated floors.
Bathroom electrical work
Bathroom outlets need GFCI protection and a 20 amp circuit, and fixtures over tubs and showers must be rated for the location. Many older Rio Rancho bathrooms have no exhaust fan at all, or one that vents into the attic. We vent fans properly to the outside.
