Why Smith Lake properties call a local electrician
Around Smith Lake, 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.
Electric service in McKinley County is typically provided by the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
Our smoke detector wiring covers all of Smith Lake, along with neighboring Prewitt, Jamestown, Crownpoint, and Grants.

How often should smoke detectors be replaced?
Every ten years. The manufacture date is printed on the back.
Can you add hardwired alarms to an older Smith Lake home?
Yes. We run the interconnect wiring through the attic, or use wirelessly interconnected alarms where running cable is not practical.
