Electrical Troubleshooting for Silver City homes and businesses

The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Silver City means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Grant County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.

Most properties in Grant County get their electricity from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
