Switch services
LED bulbs need dimmers designed for them. A mismatch causes flicker, buzzing, or lights that never fully turn off. We match the dimmer to your fixtures. Smart switches often need a neutral wire in the switch box, which some older Capitan homes lack; we can add one.

Local knowledge for Capitan, Lincoln County
Capitan 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 Lincoln County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Most properties in Lincoln County get their electricity from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide switch installation throughout Capitan and in nearby Fort Stanton, Lincoln, Hondo, and Nogal.

Switch & Dimmer Installation FAQs for Capitan
Why do my LED lights flicker on a dimmer?
Usually the dimmer was made for incandescent bulbs, or the LED bulbs are not dimmable. A compatible LED dimmer normally fixes it.
Can you add a switch where there is none?
Yes. We can add a switch for an outlet, a fixture, or a fan, and add three-way control to existing lights.
Do smart switches work in older Capitan homes?
Most do. Some need a neutral wire in the box. If yours has none, we either run one or use a model that does not need it.
How soon can you schedule switch installation in Capitan?
Call (888) 633-7804 and we will give you the earliest opening. Urgent problems go to the front of the line.
