Why Portales properties call a local electrician

On the plains of eastern New Mexico, electrical systems around Portales serve homes, agricultural operations, and industry alike. Long overhead lines, high winds, and severe thunderstorms make surge protection and solid service connections especially important.

Electric service in Roosevelt County is typically provided by Xcel Energy or Roosevelt 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.

Outlet Installation FAQs for Portales

How much does it cost to add an outlet in Portales?

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 Portales do you cover for outlet installation?

All of Portales and the surrounding Roosevelt County communities, including Floyd, Cannon AFB, and Rogers.
