First Light West team on the job

About Us

Albuquerque's Electrical Contractor Since 2009

First Light West LLC was built on a simple idea: do the work right, treat customers honestly, and stand behind every job.

Our Story

First Light West LLC was founded in 2009 by a licensed master electrician who grew up in Albuquerque and wanted to build something lasting in his own community. What started as a one-truck residential operation has grown into a full-service electrical contractor serving homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients across the greater Albuquerque metro area.

The name First Light West reflects our roots — the high desert light of New Mexico, and the idea that every project is a fresh start done right. We take pride in showing up on time, communicating clearly, and leaving every job site cleaner than we found it.

Today our team includes licensed journeyman and master electricians with decades of combined experience. Whether it's a panel upgrade for a family home or a full commercial buildout, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to every project.
