Why Fort Wingate properties call a local electrician
Around Fort Wingate, properties are spread out and electrical systems work hard: wells, heat, shops, and outbuildings a long way from the meter. Cold winters and dry, windy springs take their toll on outdoor wiring and connections.
Most properties in McKinley County get their electricity from the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

Smoke Detector Wiring FAQs for Fort Wingate
Are hardwired smoke detectors better?
Yes. They run on house power with a battery backup, and when interconnected, every alarm sounds together, which gives more warning.
How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.
Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Fort Wingate home?
Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.
