Knob and Tube and Aluminum Wiring Replacement in Navajo Dam, NM
If an inspector or insurance company has flagged the wiring in your Navajo Dam home, we can help. We confirm what you actually have, explain the options, and carry out the replacement or approved repair.
Your options
Knob and tube has no ground wire and insulation that turns brittle with age, especially where attic insulation has been piled over it. Aluminum branch wiring expands and contracts more than copper, which loosens connections and creates heat. Both are common in older Navajo Dam neighborhoods and both can be dealt with.

Why Navajo Dam properties call a local electrician
Navajo Dam 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 San Juan County often depend on well pumps, space heating, and outbuildings fed by long runs of cable.
Most properties in San Juan County get their electricity from Farmington Electric Utility System, the City of Aztec, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide old wiring replacement throughout Navajo Dam and in nearby Blanco, Aztec, Bloomfield, and Flora Vista.

Knob & Tube and Aluminum Wiring Replacement FAQs for Navajo Dam
Does aluminum wiring have to be completely replaced?
Not always. Replacing it with copper is the most complete fix. A recognized alternative is to repair every connection in the house with connectors made for joining aluminum to copper. We explain the cost and trade-offs of each.
Is knob and tube wiring illegal in Navajo Dam?
Existing knob and tube is not automatically illegal, but it cannot be extended, it should not be buried in insulation, and many insurers will not cover a home that has it. Replacement is the long-term answer.
Will replacing old wiring damage my walls?
We keep openings as few and small as we can by working from the attic and crawl space. Some patching is normal, particularly in plaster and adobe.
