Why Salem properties call a local electrician
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Salem means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Dona Ana 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 Dona Ana County is typically provided by El Paso Electric. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
We provide kitchen electrical work throughout Salem and in nearby Garfield, Hatch, Derry, and Rincon.
