Garage Electrical Installation for Santa Clara homes and businesses

Santa Clara has long, hot summers and mild winters, so cooling equipment does most of the electrical work. Panels in direct sun run hot, exposed conduit and cable degrade, and afternoon thunderstorms in monsoon season deliver frequent surges.

Depending on your address, power in Grant County typically comes from PNM or a rural 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 Santa Clara, along with neighboring Arenas Valley, Bayard, Silver City, and Pinos Altos.
