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

Why Cochiti Lake properties call a local electrician

Cochiti Lake 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.

Electric service in Sandoval County is typically provided by PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Our surge protection covers all of Cochiti Lake, along with neighboring Cochiti Pueblo, Pena Blanca, Santo Domingo Pueblo, and Los Alamos.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Cochiti Lake

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.

Yes. We provide surge protection throughout Cochiti Lake and nearby Cochiti Pueblo, Pena Blanca, and Santo Domingo Pueblo. Call (888) 633-7804 to schedule.
