Smart Home Wiring for San Cristobal homes and businesses

At elevation, San Cristobal 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.

Depending on your address, power in Taos County typically comes from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

Our smart home wiring covers all of San Cristobal, along with neighboring Arroyo Hondo, Valdez, Arroyo Seco, and Questa.

Smart Home Wiring FAQs for San Cristobal

Do smart switches work without a neutral wire?

Some models do, with limits. The most reliable fix is to add a neutral to the switch box, which we can do.

Can you install devices I already bought?

Yes. We install customer-supplied smart devices and help with the initial setup.

Do I need a hub?

It depends on the products. Many work over Wi-Fi alone; larger systems are more reliable with a hub. We can advise based on what you want to control.
