Why Taos Ski Valley properties call a local electrician

In the high country around Taos Ski Valley, 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.

Most properties in Taos County get their electricity from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

Our generator installation covers all of Taos Ski Valley, along with neighboring Valdez, Red River, Arroyo Seco, and Arroyo Hondo.

Generator Installation FAQs for Taos Ski Valley

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