Generator Installation for Datil homes and businesses
Around Datil, 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.
Depending on your address, power in Catron County typically comes from your local utility or rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Call us for generator installation anywhere in Datil, or in nearby Pie Town, Aragon, Magdalena, and Quemado.

Generator Installation FAQs for Datil
What size generator do I need for my Datil 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 Datil run generators on propane, which works just as well with a tank sized for the runtime you want.
