From electrical repair, installation, and troubleshooting to wiring, rewiring, panel upgrades, circuit breaker service, and electrical service upgrades — we handle every aspect of residential and commercial electrical work. Our licensed electricians also provide dedicated circuits, outlet and switch work, lighting, ceiling fans, EV charger installation, generator service, surge protection, safety inspections, smoke and CO detectors, pool and spa electrical, and emergency service. All projects are performed to New Mexico code with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Many Santa Fe homes — especially older adobe residences — still operate on 60- or 100-amp panels that cannot safely support modern electrical demands. Our panel service covers everything from electrical panel replacement to full 200-amp upgrades, sub-panel additions, and breaker upgrades to prevent tripping and reduce fire risk.
Older Santa Fe homes with original wiring face increased fire risk from deteriorating insulation and outdated conductors. We rewire entire homes with modern copper wiring, navigating the thick adobe walls and unique construction methods common in the area while bringing everything up to current NEC standards.
Sparking outlets, burning smells, power outages, exposed wiring — do not wait. Our emergency electrical service provides urgent response from a licensed electrician. Electrical emergencies are dangerous — call immediately for help anywhere in Santa Fe.
Upgrade your outlets and switches for safety, convenience, and modern functionality. We install GFCI outlets where code requires them, add capacity where you need it most, and set up smart home automation devices like smart switches and smart plugs — all while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your Santa Fe home.
Enhance your home or business with professional lighting that complements Santa Fe's distinctive architectural style. We design and install indoor recessed lighting, outdoor security systems, landscape lights, and decorative fixtures suited to adobe, territorial, and contemporary homes.
Electric vehicle adoption is growing across New Mexico. We install Tesla, ChargePoint, and other Level 2 home chargers properly — including the dedicated 240V circuit and any panel upgrades required. We also serve commercial EV charger installations and EV chargers for condos and multi-unit properties in the Santa Fe area.
Real estate transactions, insurance requirements, or peace of mind — our thorough inspections identify code violations, safety hazards, and capacity shortfalls in your home's electrical system. Especially important for Santa Fe's older adobe properties with original wiring.
Ceiling fans help circulate warm air from kiva fireplaces and reduce heating costs during Santa Fe's cold winters. We install, replace, and upgrade ceiling fans and decorative fixtures with correct junction box support, secure mounting, and safe wiring.
New Mexico requires working smoke detectors in residential properties. We install, replace, and update smoke and carbon monoxide detector systems — including hardwired units — to meet current safety requirements and protect your family.
Monsoon storms, lightning strikes, and utility fluctuations in the high desert can destroy electronics and appliances in an instant. We install whole-home surge protectors at your electrical panel to safeguard your valuable equipment.
When something goes wrong with your electrical system — a dead outlet, a tripped breaker, a fixture that refuses to turn on — you need a dependable repair. We diagnose and fix all types of residential and commercial electrical problems throughout Santa Fe quickly and correctly.
New construction, home additions, and renovation projects all require professional electrical installation. We handle complete electrical system installation from the ground up — wiring, panels, outlets, lighting, and all connections to code — for Santa Fe's new builds and remodels alike.
Whether you are adding new circuits, running wire for a home addition, or extending wiring to a casita or detached garage, our electricians install new electrical wiring safely and to New Mexico code. We handle both Romex and conduit installations, with special expertise in routing through adobe and plaster walls.
Circuit breakers are the safety backbone of your electrical system. We replace faulty breakers, upgrade outdated ones, add new breakers for additional circuits, and resolve persistent tripping issues caused by overloads or short circuits in Santa Fe homes and businesses.
Intermittent outages, flickering lights, phantom tripping, and unexplained power issues can be both frustrating and dangerous. Our diagnostic process systematically identifies the root cause — not just the symptom — so the fix lasts, even in Santa Fe's older homes with complex wiring layouts.
Power outages from winter storms, high winds, and grid disruptions leave your home or business vulnerable. We install standby generators and portable generator hookups so you have reliable backup power when the grid goes down in the Santa Fe area.
Older homes in Santa Fe often have 60- or 100-amp service that cannot support modern electrical demands. We upgrade your entire electrical service — including the meter base, service entrance cable, weatherhead, and main panel — to give your home the capacity it needs for today's appliances and technology.
High-draw appliances like HVAC systems, electric ranges, dryers, hot tubs, and workshop equipment need their own dedicated circuits to operate safely and avoid tripping breakers. We run dedicated lines from your panel to each appliance location throughout your Santa Fe property.
Pool and spa electrical systems have strict safety requirements due to the proximity of water. We install, repair, and upgrade pool pumps, spa heaters, underwater lighting, GFCI protection, and bonding and grounding systems to NEC pool code for Santa Fe homeowners.
Santa Fe businesses depend on a reliable commercial electrician. We handle commercial panel upgrades, tenant improvement wiring, dedicated circuits for equipment, code compliance updates, and ongoing electrical maintenance plans for offices, galleries, retail shops, restaurants, and hotels.

We always provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins — no hidden fees, no surprises. As an affordable electrician in Santa Fe, we keep our rates competitive without cutting corners.
These are general ranges — your actual cost depends on the scope, materials, and any permitting required. Contact us for a detailed estimate specific to your project.
Contact an Electrician (505) 391-0324While many electrical issues require a licensed professional, these safety practices can help you protect your home and family.
Burning smells, warm outlets, flickering lights, and buzzing sounds are not normal. They indicate a potential hazard that should be inspected by a licensed electrician before it worsens.
Plugging too many devices into a single outlet or circuit — especially high-draw items like space heaters and hair dryers — can overheat wiring. Use dedicated circuits for heavy appliances.
GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas should be tested monthly using the test/reset buttons. These outlets protect against electrical shock in wet areas.
Frayed, cracked, or damaged power cords are a fire hazard. Replace them immediately rather than taping over the damage. Never run cords under rugs or through doorways.
Label each breaker in your electrical panel so you can quickly shut off circuits in an emergency. Know where your main breaker is and how to use it to cut all power to your home.
DIY electrical work can be dangerous and may violate local codes. Improperly done wiring can cause fires, electrocution, or insurance claim denials. Always hire a licensed, certified electrician — never an unlicensed handyman.
Electrical emergencies can be dangerous. Knowing what to do — and what NOT to do — before help arrives could save lives and prevent property damage.

Save: (505) 391-0324Santa Fe's distinctive adobe and territorial style architecture presents unique challenges for electrical work. Thick earthen walls, vigas, and plaster finishes require specialized routing techniques to install or upgrade wiring without compromising the structure or aesthetic. Many of these homes have original wiring that was never designed for modern electrical loads — adding air conditioning, EV chargers, or home offices often requires panel upgrades or rewiring with careful consideration of the building's character.
Santa Fe sits at over 7,000 feet elevation in a high desert climate with intense UV exposure, dramatic temperature swings, and powerful monsoon storms. These conditions accelerate wear on outdoor electrical components, including outlet covers, fixture wiring, and conduit exposed to the sun. Lightning strikes during summer monsoons are a real concern — whole-home surge protection is especially important for Santa Fe properties to safeguard sensitive electronics and appliances.
Santa Fe is served by PNM (Public Service Company of New Mexico). Panel upgrades and service changes often require coordination with PNM for meter disconnects and reconnects. Our team has experience working with PNM on Santa Fe projects and understands their requirements, timelines, and processes — including the paperwork needed for meter re-sets after panel upgrades and the coordination required for solar and EV charger installations.
Electrical work in Santa Fe typically requires permits from the City of Santa Fe Land Use Department. Panel replacements, new circuit installations, service upgrades, and rewiring all require permits and may require inspection. Working without permits can result in fines, failed resale inspections, and insurance complications. We handle the entire permitting process as part of qualifying jobs, so you do not have to navigate the process on your own.
We believe the best way to earn your business is to stand behind our work — completely and unconditionally. Every service call, every project, every customer is backed by these guarantees.
If you are not completely satisfied with our work, we will come back and make it right at no additional cost. No arguments, no fine print.
The price we quote is the price you pay. If additional work is needed beyond the original scope, we discuss it and get your approval first — always.
We provide a specific arrival window and stick to it. If we are going to be late (it is rare), we call ahead. Your time is valuable and we respect it.
Every installation meets or exceeds New Mexico electrical code. We use professional-grade materials, pull required permits, and schedule inspections when needed.
Answers to the most common questions we receive from Santa Fe homeowners about our electrical services.
For standard service requests, we typically schedule same-day or next-day appointments. For electrical emergencies — sparking, burning smells, or sudden power loss — we treat those with urgency and respond as quickly as possible. Calling directly always gets the fastest response.
Before any work begins, we assess the situation and provide a detailed, written estimate. We explain what needs to be done, what materials are required, and what the total cost will be. No work starts without your approval, and there are no hidden charges after the fact.
Yes. Santa Fe Electrician is a fully licensed and insured electrical contractor operating in the State of New Mexico. Our electricians meet the training, testing, and experience requirements mandated by the state. Our insurance protects you as the property owner in the unlikely event of an issue.
Panel upgrade costs vary based on the current panel condition, desired amperage (typically 200 amps for modern homes), permit requirements, and any additional work needed such as meter base upgrades. We provide detailed estimates specific to your situation so you know exactly what to expect.
Call immediately if you notice: a burning smell near outlets or your electrical panel, sparking or arcing from any device, visible smoke, sudden and complete loss of power, buzzing sounds from walls or switches, or any exposed or damaged wiring. These situations can escalate quickly.
Many electrical projects in Santa Fe require permits from the City of Santa Fe Land Use Department. Panel replacements, new circuit installations, rewiring, and service upgrades typically require permits and may need inspection. We handle the entire permitting process as part of qualifying projects.
Common warning signs include: flickering or dimming lights, frequently tripped breakers, burning smells near outlets or switches, discolored or warm outlet covers, buzzing sounds from switches or outlets, and a persistent need for extension cords. Older adobe homes with original wiring should be professionally evaluated if any of these signs appear.
A full house rewire typically takes 3 to 7 business days depending on the home's size, number of circuits, accessibility of walls and crawl spaces, and any complications discovered during the project. Adobe construction may add time due to wall thickness. We provide a timeline estimate during your initial consultation.
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers for all major brands, including Tesla Wall Connectors and ChargePoint Home units. This includes running a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel, any necessary panel upgrades, and ensuring the installation meets manufacturer specifications and electrical code.
We use professional-grade products from trusted manufacturers including Square D by Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Eaton for panels and breakers; Leviton for outlets and switches; Lutron for dimmers and lighting controls; and Southwire for wiring and cable. We never use off-brand or budget-grade components.
Electrician cost per hour varies based on the type of work, complexity, and materials needed. Rather than charging a flat hourly rate, we provide upfront written estimates for every job so you know the total cost before work begins. As an affordable electrician in Santa Fe, we keep our pricing competitive and transparent.
