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 La Madera homes lack; we can add one.

Why La Madera properties call a local electrician

In the high country around La Madera, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.

Depending on your address, power in Rio Arriba County typically comes from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

Our switch installation covers all of La Madera, along with neighboring Medanales, Abiquiu, El Rito, and Embudo.

Switch & Dimmer Installation FAQs for La Madera

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 La Madera 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.

Which areas around La Madera do you cover for switch installation?

All of La Madera and the surrounding Rio Arriba County communities, including Medanales, Abiquiu, and El Rito.
