Generator Installation for Caballo homes and businesses
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Caballo means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Sierra County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Electric service in Sierra County is typically provided by Sierra Electric Cooperative or a municipal utility. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
Our generator installation covers all of Caballo, along with neighboring Truth or Consequences, Elephant Butte, Arrey, and Derry.

Generator Installation FAQs for Caballo
What size generator do I need for my Caballo home?
It depends on what you want to run. Covering essentials such as the refrigerator, furnace fan, well pump, and lights takes a much smaller unit than running central air and an electric range. We do a load calculation and show you the options.
Can I plug a portable generator into my house?
Only through a transfer switch or a listed interlock with a proper inlet. Backfeeding through a dryer outlet is dangerous to you and to utility workers. We install safe connections for portable generators.
Natural gas or propane?
If you have natural gas at the street, it is the simplest choice. Many rural properties around Caballo run generators on propane, which works just as well with a tank sized for the runtime you want.
