Outlet Installation for El Prado homes and businesses

At elevation, El Prado 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.

Electric service in Taos County is typically provided by Kit Carson 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 outlet installation covers all of El Prado, along with neighboring Taos, Arroyo Seco, Ranchos de Taos, and Arroyo Hondo.

Outlet Installation FAQs for El Prado

How much does it cost to add an outlet in El Prado?

It depends on how far the new outlet is from an existing power source and what the walls are made of. Adding one beside an existing outlet is quick. Fishing wire through adobe or across a finished room takes longer.

Can you ground my two-prong outlets?

Yes. Depending on the wiring, we run a ground, rewire the circuit, or install GFCI protection, which is an accepted way to allow three-prong outlets on ungrounded circuits.

Where are GFCI outlets required?

Bathrooms, kitchens, garages, laundry areas, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, and all outdoor locations, among others.

Yes. We provide outlet installation throughout El Prado and nearby Taos, Arroyo Seco, and Ranchos de Taos. Call (888) 633-7804 to schedule.
