Outlet Installation for Orogrande homes and businesses
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Orogrande means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Otero County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Electric service in Otero County is typically provided by PNM or Otero County 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 Orogrande, along with neighboring Cloudcroft, White Sands Missile Range, Organ, and Sunspot.

Outlet Installation FAQs for Orogrande
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Orogrande?
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.
Which areas around Orogrande do you cover for outlet installation?
All of Orogrande and the surrounding Otero County communities, including Cloudcroft, White Sands Missile Range, and Organ.
