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

Why Church Rock properties call a local electrician
Church Rock is in the high country of northwest New Mexico, where cold winters, dusty winds, and long rural service runs are part of everyday life. Homes, shops, and ranch properties across McKinley County often depend on well pumps, space heating, and outbuildings fed by long runs of cable.
Most properties in McKinley County get their electricity from the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our surge protection covers all of Church Rock, along with neighboring Rehoboth, Fort Wingate, Continental Divide, and Gallup.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Church Rock
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.
