Why Gallup properties call a local electrician

Around Gallup, 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.

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.
