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

Whole House Surge Protection for Glenwood homes and businesses
Around Glenwood, 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.
Depending on your address, power in Catron County typically comes from your local utility or rural electric cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Our surge protection covers all of Glenwood, along with neighboring Mule Creek, Cliff, Gila, and Reserve.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Glenwood
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.
