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

Whole House Surge Protection for La Madera homes and businesses
La Madera is in New Mexico's high country. Long heating seasons, snow, and winter storms put steady demand on electrical systems and make outages more than an inconvenience. Older adobe and territorial-style buildings in Rio Arriba County often hide several generations of wiring behind thick walls.
Most properties in Rio Arriba County get their electricity from Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, or Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our surge protection covers all of La Madera, along with neighboring Medanales, Abiquiu, El Rito, and Embudo.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for La Madera
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.
