What a house rewiring includes

Rewiring adobe and plaster homes around El Prado takes patience. We fish wire through attics, crawl spaces, and chases wherever we can, and use surface raceway where solid walls leave no other route.

Why El Prado properties call a local electrician

El Prado 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.

We provide house rewiring throughout El Prado and in nearby Taos, Arroyo Seco, Ranchos de Taos, and Arroyo Hondo.
