Local knowledge for San Rafael, Cibola County

Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around San Rafael, 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 Cibola County typically comes from Continental Divide Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

We provide sub panel installation throughout San Rafael and in nearby Cubero, Milan, San Fidel, and Grants.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for San Rafael

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

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 San Rafael do you cover for sub panel installation?

All of San Rafael and the surrounding Cibola County communities, including Cubero, Milan, and San Fidel.
