Sub panel work we do

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Cordova

Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Cordova?

If the main service has enough capacity and you only need more spaces or power in a new location, a sub panel is usually enough. If the service itself is too small, you need a panel upgrade. We run the numbers and tell you which.

How big should a sub panel be?

A garage or small shop commonly uses 60 to 100 amps. A casita with its own cooking and cooling may need more. We size it to what you plan to run.

Can you run power to a detached building?

Yes. We trench, lay conduit, pull the feeder, and install the panel and grounding at the building.

Which areas around Cordova do you cover for sub panel installation?

All of Cordova and the surrounding Rio Arriba County communities, including Chimayo, Truchas, and Santa Cruz.
