Outdoor Lighting Installation in Costilla, NM

From a motion light over the garage to a fully lit courtyard, our electricians design and install outdoor lighting for Costilla homes and businesses.

Outdoor lighting services

Outdoor electrical equipment in Costilla takes a beating from ultraviolet light, heat, wind-driven dust, and summer downpours. We use wet-location fixtures, weatherproof boxes, UV-resistant conduit, and GFCI protection, and we bury cable at the proper depth. Many communities here value dark skies, so we favor shielded, downward-facing fixtures.

In the high country around Costilla, 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.

Depending on your address, power in Taos County typically comes from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
