Sub panel work we do

Sub Panel Installation for San Cristobal homes and businesses

San Cristobal is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Taos County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.

Most properties in Taos County get their electricity from Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

Our sub panel installation covers all of San Cristobal, along with neighboring Arroyo Hondo, Valdez, Arroyo Seco, and Questa.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for San Cristobal

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

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.
