Local knowledge for Sanostee, San Juan County
Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Sanostee, that means voltage drop on long feeders, weathered outdoor equipment, and electrical systems that have been added onto over the years.
Depending on your address, power in San Juan County typically comes from Farmington Electric Utility System, the City of Aztec, 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.
Our basement electrical work covers all of Sanostee, along with neighboring Newcomb, Shiprock, Sheep Springs, and Fruitland.

Do basement outlets need GFCI protection?
Outlets in unfinished basement areas require GFCI protection, and it is also required near sinks and in bathrooms.
