Garage Electrical Installation in Jamestown, NM

Whether it is an attached garage, a detached shop, or a metal building out back, our electricians wire garages across Jamestown for the way you actually use them.

  • 240V circuits for welders and compressors
  • Sub panels for garages and shops
  • EV charger circuits

Local knowledge for Jamestown, McKinley County

Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Jamestown, 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.

We provide garage electrical work throughout Jamestown and in nearby Continental Divide, Smith Lake, Prewitt, and Fort Wingate.
