Why Caballo properties call a local electrician
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Caballo means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Sierra County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Depending on your address, power in Sierra County typically comes from Sierra Electric Cooperative or a municipal utility. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
We provide smoke detector wiring throughout Caballo and in nearby Truth or Consequences, Elephant Butte, Arrey, and Derry.
