Kitchen electrical work
A modern kitchen needs at least two 20 amp countertop circuits plus dedicated circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, and range. Older Tijeras kitchens often run everything on one or two circuits, which is why breakers trip.
- Countertop small-appliance circuits
- Dedicated circuits for each major appliance
- GFCI and AFCI protection
- Island and peninsula outlets
- Range, cooktop, and wall oven circuits
- Under-cabinet, pendant, and recessed lighting
- Range hood and disposal wiring
- Gas-to-electric and induction conversions
Signs your kitchen wiring is behind
- Breakers trip when two appliances run
- Too few countertop outlets
- No GFCI protection near the sink
- Dim or shadowed work surfaces
- You are switching to an induction range

Why Tijeras properties call a local electrician
Tijeras sits in the high desert of central New Mexico, where strong sun, wide swings between day and night temperatures, and summer monsoon lightning are hard on wiring, breakers, and outdoor equipment. Many homes here cool with evaporative coolers or have converted to refrigerated air on panels that were never sized for it.
Depending on your address, power in Bernalillo County typically comes from PNM. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Our kitchen electrical work covers all of Tijeras, along with neighboring Cedar Crest, Edgewood, Sandia Park, and Kirtland AFB.
