Why Corrales properties call a local electrician
Corrales sits in the high desert of central New Mexico, where strong sun, wide swings between day and night temperatures, and summer monsoon lightning are hard on wiring, breakers, and outdoor equipment. Many homes here cool with evaporative coolers or have converted to refrigerated air on panels that were never sized for it.
Depending on your address, power in Sandoval County typically comes from PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
