Why Ruidoso Downs properties call a local electrician

In the high country around Ruidoso Downs, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.

Electric service in Lincoln County is typically provided by PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Generator Installation FAQs for Ruidoso Downs

What size generator do I need for my Ruidoso Downs 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 Ruidoso Downs run generators on propane, which works just as well with a tank sized for the runtime you want.
