Why Sunspot properties call a local electrician
In southern New Mexico's desert, Sunspot summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.
Depending on your address, power in Otero County typically comes from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
We provide house rewiring throughout Sunspot and in nearby Alamogordo, Sacramento, Timberon, and High Rolls Mountain Park.
