Outdoor lighting services

Outdoor electrical equipment in Truchas 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.

Why Truchas properties call a local electrician

In the high country around Truchas, 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.

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

Yes. Weatherproof GFCI outlets are easy to add while we are running outdoor circuits.

Will the fixtures hold up in the Truchas sun?
