"This was easily the best experience I've had in Alamogordo with any, and I mean ANY home repair company.  Between electric work and plumbing I've recently dealt with four companies (my house has all but fell apart), and Rufus Electric was honestly the only company I can say was an A+ to deal with.  
We lost electricity to half of our house, and after working with Miranda Electric, I figured I'd try someone else.  First of all, Rufus tried to help me out over the phone with my problem, which would have benefited them zilch had their prescription have worked.  That was awesome.  Second, they showed up about four minutes (literally, four freakin' minutes) after I got off the phone with them to diagnose my problem.  After they figured out it wasn't a breaker problem, they let me know they had a full plate for the next couple days, but that they'd be back to fix it.  They showed up two days later, fixed the problem, and only charged me $50!  I spent $80 to have Miranda Electric fix an outlet!!!!  I know where I'm going for any electrical work.  Seriously, take your business to Rufus Electric.  They're nice, relaxed, fair, and I can't recommend them enough.

"My house was under construction. and had already gotten struck by lightning so time was critical as I knew it could happen again. I have a home with tall roof peaks and built on a hill. They came out quickly and started right away and their prices were way less than the other company s. I will use them again when my barn is constructed."

"Our solar project was great. The experience from beginning to end was a good experience. We are happy with the sales, installation, and performance of our panels. From the time we signed up to the actual install, our sales rep, Chad DeLong, was very helpful and knowledgeable. The installers were in and out and we have had zero issues with anything since then. I check my app all the time to see how it is doing. We got a rebate from xcel last year which was also nice."

"Aside from the delay in making an appointment, everything went smoothly.  He arrived exactly on time and cleaned up afterwards. One edge of the drywall did  not hit the stud so he worked with  a leftover piece of wood  I had  to fix that problem.  All other materials were provided by them.  The gap on the adjoining wall (between the wall and the garage door) was also covered.  Overall I was very pleased with the work.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Type S or T fuses don’t require any special removal or installation tools. However, replacing a cartridge-style fuse is easier and safer when using a fuse-puller tool. All of these tools should be available anywhere you can buy fuses.

A 60W LED bulb is likely labeled as “60W replacement” on the package—that’s because it provides about the same light output as a 60W incandescent bulb. In reality, it likely uses less energy—usually 15 watts or less. If that’s the case, then it’s perfectly fine to put a 60W LED bulb in a 40W socket. Your best bet is to read the package carefully. It will tell you the LED bulb’s actual wattage, and as long as it’s lower than the fixture, the bulb will be safe to use.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.

Whether you need electrical upgrades depends on the electronics your game room includes. If your game room will have high-powered electronics, arcade machines, or a home theater, you may need to upgrade your electrical panel or add dedicated circuits. An electrician can assess your current system and provide an estimate for any necessary upgrades.
