Around Farmington, 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 San Juan County get their electricity from Farmington Electric Utility System, the City of Aztec, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
