Power strips only protect what is plugged into them. A whole house surge protector, installed at your main panel in Kirtland, protects every circuit, including the air conditioner, furnace, refrigerator, and well pump that never touch a power strip.
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 Kirtland we usually pair it with point-of-use protection for computers and televisions.

Whole House Surge Protection for Kirtland homes and businesses
Around Kirtland, properties are spread out and electrical systems work hard: wells, heat, shops, and outbuildings a long way from the meter. Cold winters and dry, windy springs take their toll on outdoor wiring and connections.
Depending on your address, power in San Juan County typically comes from Farmington Electric Utility System, the City of Aztec, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
Call us for surge protection anywhere in Kirtland, or in nearby Waterflow, Fruitland, Farmington, and Flora Vista.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Kirtland
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.
