Electrical Inspection in Tatum, NM
Buying an older home in Tatum, 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 Tatum 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

Why Tatum properties call a local electrician
On the plains of eastern New Mexico, electrical systems around Tatum serve homes, agricultural operations, and industry alike. Long overhead lines, high winds, and severe thunderstorms make surge protection and solid service connections especially important.
Most properties in Lea County get their electricity from Xcel Energy or Lea County Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
