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

Why Hillsboro properties call a local electrician

The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Hillsboro means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Sierra County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.

Electric service in Sierra County is typically provided by Sierra Electric Cooperative or a municipal utility. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

We provide surge protection throughout Hillsboro and in nearby Caballo, Arrey, Mimbres, and Derry.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Hillsboro

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.
