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 Corrales we usually pair it with point-of-use protection for computers and televisions.

Whole House Surge Protection for Corrales homes and businesses
Corrales sits in the high desert of central New Mexico, where strong sun, wide swings between day and night temperatures, and summer monsoon lightning are hard on wiring, breakers, and outdoor equipment. Many homes here cool with evaporative coolers or have converted to refrigerated air on panels that were never sized for it.
Most properties in Sandoval County get their electricity from PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our surge protection covers all of Corrales, along with neighboring Rio Rancho, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, Placitas, and Bernalillo.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Corrales
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.
