Local knowledge for Picacho, Lincoln County
Picacho is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Lincoln County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Most properties in Lincoln County get their electricity from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide garage electrical work throughout Picacho and in nearby Tinnie, San Patricio, Hondo, and Glencoe.
