Electrical Inspection in Cerrillos, NM

Buying an older home in Cerrillos, or living in one? A dedicated electrical inspection goes much deeper than a general home inspection. We open the panel, test the circuits, and give you a plain-language report with priorities.

What our inspection covers

We look for the issues that matter most in Cerrillos homes: overloaded or recalled panels, aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, amateur wiring from past remodels, and sun-damaged exterior wiring.

  • Service entrance, meter base, and grounding
  • Main panel and sub panels, with the cover removed
  • Breaker sizing against wire size
  • Outlet testing, polarity, and grounding
  • GFCI and AFCI protection where required
  • Visible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, and garages
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm placement
  • A written summary with photos and priorities

Good times to schedule an inspection

  • Before you buy or sell a home
  • Your home is more than 40 years old and has never been checked
  • Your insurer has asked about the wiring or panel
  • Before a major remodel, EV charger, or air conditioning upgrade
  • After storm, flood, or fire damage

Local knowledge for Cerrillos, Santa Fe County

At elevation, Cerrillos sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.

Electric service in Santa Fe County is typically provided by PNM or a rural electric cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
