Sub panel work we do
Detached buildings are common around Rehoboth, and each one needs its own properly grounded sub panel with a disconnect. We size the feeder for voltage drop on long runs, trench and install conduit where needed, and separate the neutrals and grounds the way the code requires.
- Sub panels for garages and workshops
- Power for casitas, guest houses, and additions
- Barn, well house, and outbuilding panels
- Underground and overhead feeders
- Load calculation to confirm the main can support it
- Grounding electrodes for detached structures
- Clear circuit labeling
- Permit and inspection
A sub panel makes sense when
- Your main panel has no open spaces
- You are adding a shop with welders, compressors, or a kiln
- You are building an addition or converting a garage
- A detached building needs more than one circuit
- You want an EV charger far from the main panel

Local knowledge for Rehoboth, McKinley County
Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Rehoboth, that means voltage drop on long feeders, weathered outdoor equipment, and electrical systems that have been added onto over the years.
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.
We provide sub panel installation throughout Rehoboth and in nearby Church Rock, Gallup, Yatahey, and Gamerco.

Sub Panel Installation FAQs for Rehoboth
Sub panel or full panel upgrade: which do I need in Rehoboth?
If the main service has enough capacity and you only need more spaces or power in a new location, a sub panel is usually enough. If the service itself is too small, you need a panel upgrade. We run the numbers and tell you which.
How big should a sub panel be?
A garage or small shop commonly uses 60 to 100 amps. A casita with its own cooking and cooling may need more. We size it to what you plan to run.
Can you run power to a detached building?
Yes. We trench, lay conduit, pull the feeder, and install the panel and grounding at the building.
Which areas around Rehoboth do you cover for sub panel installation?
All of Rehoboth and the surrounding McKinley County communities, including Church Rock, Gallup, and Yatahey.
