Whole House Surge Protection in Crownpoint, NM
New Mexico's summer monsoon brings frequent lightning, and every strike near a power line can send a surge into your home. Whole house surge protection in Crownpoint stops that surge at the panel, before it reaches your appliances and electronics.
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 Crownpoint we usually pair it with point-of-use protection for computers and televisions.

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.
