Local knowledge for Continental Divide, McKinley County

Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Continental Divide, that means voltage drop on long feeders, weathered outdoor equipment, and electrical systems that have been added onto over the years.

Electric service in McKinley County is typically provided by the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Continental Divide

Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Continental Divide?

If the main service has enough capacity and you only need more spaces or power in a new location, a sub panel is usually enough. If the service itself is too small, you need a panel upgrade. We run the numbers and tell you which.

How big should a sub panel be?

A garage or small shop commonly uses 60 to 100 amps. A casita with its own cooking and cooling may need more. We size it to what you plan to run.

Can you run power to a detached building?

Yes. We trench, lay conduit, pull the feeder, and install the panel and grounding at the building.

Which areas around Continental Divide do you cover for sub panel installation?

All of Continental Divide and the surrounding McKinley County communities, including Fort Wingate, Church Rock, and Rehoboth.
