Surge protection services

Most surges are small and come from inside the home or from utility switching, and over time they wear down circuit boards in appliances. A panel-mounted surge protective device handles both the everyday surges and the big storm-driven ones. In Arenas Valley we usually pair it with point-of-use protection for computers and televisions.

Whole House Surge Protection for Arenas Valley homes and businesses

In southern New Mexico's desert, Arenas Valley summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.

Most properties in Grant County get their electricity from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.

Our surge protection covers all of Arenas Valley, along with neighboring Santa Clara, Silver City, Bayard, and Pinos Altos.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Arenas Valley

Will a whole house surge protector stop a direct lightning strike?

Nothing fully protects against a direct strike to the house. A surge protector handles the far more common case: surges arriving on the power lines from nearby strikes and utility events.

How long does installation take?

Usually about an hour, with power off for only part of that time.

Do surge protectors wear out?

Yes. They absorb energy each time they work. Most have an indicator light that shows when the device needs replacing.
