Why Placitas properties call a local electrician

Placitas 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 Sandoval County typically comes from PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide battery backup installation throughout Placitas and in nearby Bernalillo, Corrales, Rio Rancho, and Algodones.

Battery Backup Installation FAQs for Placitas

How long will a battery run my Placitas home?

It depends on the battery's size and what you run. One battery typically carries lights, refrigeration, and electronics through the night. Running central air needs considerably more storage.

Battery or generator?

Batteries are silent, automatic, and nearly maintenance-free, and are best for essentials. Generators deliver more power for longer as long as they have fuel. Some homes use both.

Do I need solar to have a battery?

No. A battery can charge from the grid. Solar lets it recharge during an extended outage.
