Lighting we install
Heavy fixtures and ceiling fans need a rated box anchored to framing, and high or vaulted ceilings need the right equipment to reach. Vigas, latillas, and plaster ceilings found in many Velarde homes take extra care, and we plan wire routes to keep them intact.

Local knowledge for Velarde, Rio Arriba County
At elevation, Velarde sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.
Depending on your address, power in Rio Arriba County typically comes from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
