Electrical Inspection in Continental Divide, NM

Buying an older home in Continental Divide, or living in one? A dedicated electrical inspection goes much deeper than a general home inspection. We open the panel, test the circuits, and give you a plain-language report with priorities.

What our inspection covers

We look for the issues that matter most in Continental Divide homes: overloaded or recalled panels, aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, amateur wiring from past remodels, and sun-damaged exterior wiring.

  • Service entrance, meter base, and grounding
  • Main panel and sub panels, with the cover removed
  • Breaker sizing against wire size
  • Outlet testing, polarity, and grounding
  • GFCI and AFCI protection where required
  • Visible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, and garages
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm placement
  • A written summary with photos and priorities

Good times to schedule an inspection

  • Before you buy or sell a home
  • Your home is more than 40 years old and has never been checked
  • Your insurer has asked about the wiring or panel
  • Before a major remodel, EV charger, or air conditioning upgrade
  • After storm, flood, or fire damage

Why Continental Divide properties call a local electrician

Continental Divide is in the high country of northwest New Mexico, where cold winters, dusty winds, and long rural service runs are part of everyday life. Homes, shops, and ranch properties across McKinley County often depend on well pumps, space heating, and outbuildings fed by long runs of cable.

Depending on your address, power in McKinley County typically comes from the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.

Call us for electrical inspections anywhere in Continental Divide, or in nearby Fort Wingate, Church Rock, Rehoboth, and Jamestown.
