Electrical Services for Southern New Mexico Homes and Businesses

The company's service offerings address the full spectrum of local electrical needs. For residential clients, common services include electrical repair, installation, and inspection, which are critical for maintaining the safety of older adobe-style homes in the Mesilla Valley and newer developments in areas like Picacho Hills. Light fixture installation and repair services help homeowners update properties and improve energy efficiency. For commercial and industrial clients, RT Electric provides comprehensive electrical system support, complemented by a practical machine and tool rental service that supports local contractors and DIY projects.

Comprehensive Service Area Across Doña Ana County

RT Electric's primary service zone encompasses key neighborhoods and districts within Las Cruces, including the historic Mesilla area, the Picacho Hills community, neighborhoods along the Avenida de Mesilla corridor, and the growing Sonoma Ranch sector. The company's extended service area reliably covers surrounding communities such as Chaparral, Radium Springs, White Sands, Columbus, Doña Ana, and the broader unincorporated areas of Doña Ana County. This extensive coverage is supported by the team's operational familiarity with the varied infrastructure, from historic properties to modern commercial installations found across these different locales.

A Local Business Growing With the Community

Founded in Las Cruces in 1976, RT Electric's growth has paralleled the expansion of the city and its surrounding communities. The company was established to meet the growing electrical demands of a developing region. Key milestones in its history are tied to the community's growth, including obtaining multi-state licensing to serve the broader border region and expanding its service fleet to efficiently cover the expansive desert geography. Its long-term presence has made it a recognized name among local homeowners, businesses, and contractors.

The company has built a reputation for reliably meeting southern New Mexico's specific electrical code requirements and inspection standards.
