Placitas challenges
- Large view windows that take full sun and wind
- Higher elevation than Albuquerque, with colder winter nights
- Custom openings and window shapes
- Long drives up dirt roads for delivery and installation
What works here
Strong frames in large sizes — fiberglass or clad wood — and glass chosen for both winter heat loss and summer sun. Casements seal tight against wind and dust.
Some Placitas homes get electricity from a co-op rather than PNM, which affects the PNM rebate. The state tax credit doesn't depend on your utility.

Common questions
Can you deliver to homes on dirt roads?
Yes. Tell us about access when you call.
Do Placitas homes get the PNM rebate?
Only if PNM is your electric company. The state tax credit applies either way.
