Local knowledge for Tijeras, Bernalillo County
Central New Mexico's high desert climate ages electrical systems in its own way. Around Tijeras, ultraviolet light breaks down exposed cable and plastic boxes, temperature swings loosen connections, and monsoon season brings surges and brief outages.
Most properties in Bernalillo County get their electricity from PNM. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our garage electrical work covers all of Tijeras, along with neighboring Cedar Crest, Edgewood, Sandia Park, and Kirtland AFB.
