Why Glenwood properties call a local electrician

Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Glenwood, that means voltage drop on long feeders, weathered outdoor equipment, and electrical systems that have been added onto over the years.

Depending on your address, power in Catron County typically comes from your local utility or rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
