Garage Electrical Installation for Capitan homes and businesses
At elevation, Capitan 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.
Depending on your address, power in Lincoln County typically comes from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Our garage electrical work covers all of Capitan, along with neighboring Fort Stanton, Lincoln, Hondo, and Nogal.
