Outdoor Lighting Installation in Placitas, NM

Outdoor lighting services

Outdoor electrical equipment in Placitas 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.

Local knowledge for Placitas, Sandoval County

Placitas 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.

Electric service in Sandoval County is typically provided by PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Our outdoor lighting installation covers all of Placitas, along with neighboring Bernalillo, Corrales, Rio Rancho, and Algodones.
