Whole House Surge Protection in Laguna, 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 Laguna 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 Laguna we usually pair it with point-of-use protection for computers and televisions.

Whole House Surge Protection for Laguna homes and businesses
Northwest New Mexico's plateau country brings freezing winter nights, spring wind, and summer lightning. Around Laguna, that means voltage drop on long feeders, weathered outdoor equipment, and electrical systems that have been added onto over the years.
Depending on your address, power in Cibola County typically comes from Continental Divide Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
We provide surge protection throughout Laguna and in nearby Paguate, New Laguna, Casa Blanca, and Isleta.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Laguna
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.
Which areas around Laguna do you cover for surge protection?
All of Laguna and the surrounding Cibola County communities, including Paguate, New Laguna, and Casa Blanca.
