Generator Installation for Newcomb homes and businesses
Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Newcomb, 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.
We provide generator installation throughout Newcomb and in nearby Sheep Springs, Sanostee, Shiprock, and Navajo.

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