Why Continental Divide properties call a local electrician

Around Continental Divide, 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.

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.

Our generator installation covers all of Continental Divide, along with neighboring Fort Wingate, Church Rock, Rehoboth, and Jamestown.

Generator Installation FAQs for Continental Divide

What size generator do I need for my Continental Divide home?

It depends on what you want to run. Covering essentials such as the refrigerator, furnace fan, well pump, and lights takes a much smaller unit than running central air and an electric range. We do a load calculation and show you the options.

Can I plug a portable generator into my house?

Only through a transfer switch or a listed interlock with a proper inlet. Backfeeding through a dryer outlet is dangerous to you and to utility workers. We install safe connections for portable generators.

Natural gas or propane?

If you have natural gas at the street, it is the simplest choice. Many rural properties around Continental Divide run generators on propane, which works just as well with a tank sized for the runtime you want.
