Recessed lighting services
Layout matters more than the number of lights. We space fixtures according to ceiling height and what the room is used for, keep them off the walls enough to avoid harsh scallops, and put them on dimmers. In Thoreau homes with insulated attics we use fixtures rated for contact with insulation.

Why Thoreau properties call a local electrician
Thoreau is in the high country of northwest New Mexico, where cold winters, dusty winds, and long rural service runs are part of everyday life. Homes, shops, and ranch properties across McKinley County often depend on well pumps, space heating, and outbuildings fed by long runs of cable.
Electric service in McKinley County is typically provided by the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
We provide recessed lighting installation throughout Thoreau and in nearby Crownpoint, Grants, Smith Lake, and Prewitt.

Recessed Lighting Installation FAQs for Thoreau
How many recessed lights do I need?
A common rule is to space them at about half the ceiling height, so four feet apart for an eight-foot ceiling, then adjust for the room's use. We lay it out with you before cutting.
Can recessed lights go in a ceiling without attic access?
Usually yes. Slim LED fixtures need very little depth, and we can fish cable between openings.
Do recessed lights raise my electric bill?
LED recessed lights use a fraction of the power of old incandescent cans. Converting usually lowers the bill.
Which areas around Thoreau do you cover for recessed lighting installation?
All of Thoreau and the surrounding McKinley County communities, including Crownpoint, Grants, and Smith Lake.
