Outdoor lighting services

Outdoor electrical equipment in San Rafael 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 San Rafael, Cibola County

Around San Rafael, properties are spread out and electrical systems work hard: wells, heat, shops, and outbuildings a long way from the meter. Cold winters and dry, windy springs take their toll on outdoor wiring and connections.

Most properties in Cibola County get their electricity from Continental Divide Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
