Electrical Troubleshooting for Truth or Consequences homes and businesses

In southern New Mexico's desert, Truth or Consequences summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.

Depending on your address, power in Sierra County typically comes from Sierra Electric Cooperative or a municipal utility. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

Electrical Troubleshooting FAQs for Truth or Consequences

Why do my lights flicker in my Truth or Consequences home?

A single flickering bulb is usually the bulb or fixture. Flickering in one room points to a loose connection on that circuit. Flickering through the whole house can be a loose main or neutral connection, or a utility problem, and needs prompt attention.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

The three usual causes are an overloaded circuit, a short or ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. We measure the load, test the wiring, and check the breaker so you know which one it is.

How long does troubleshooting take?

Most faults are found within the first hour. Intermittent problems can take longer because we may need to recreate the conditions that trigger them.
