Local knowledge for Alcalde, Rio Arriba County
In the high country around Alcalde, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.
Most properties in Rio Arriba County get their electricity from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our electrical inspections covers all of Alcalde, along with neighboring San Juan Pueblo, Embudo, Hernandez, and Velarde.
