Why Columbus properties call a local electrician
Columbus has long, hot summers and mild winters, so cooling equipment does most of the electrical work. Panels in direct sun run hot, exposed conduit and cable degrade, and afternoon thunderstorms in monsoon season deliver frequent surges.
Electric service in Luna County is typically provided by PNM or Columbus Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
We provide electrical inspections throughout Columbus and in nearby Deming, Hachita, Animas, and Fairacres.
