Why Smith Lake properties call a local electrician
Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Smith Lake, that means voltage drop on long feeders, weathered outdoor equipment, and electrical systems that have been added onto over the years.
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.
We provide garage electrical work throughout Smith Lake and in nearby Prewitt, Jamestown, Crownpoint, and Grants.
