Whole House Surge Protection in Lordsburg, NM
Power strips only protect what is plugged into them. A whole house surge protector, installed at your main panel in Lordsburg, 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 Lordsburg we usually pair it with point-of-use protection for computers and televisions.

Why Lordsburg properties call a local electrician
In southern New Mexico's desert, Lordsburg summers push air conditioning, coolers, and well pumps hard for months at a time, and monsoon storms bring lightning and short outages. Heat is tough on breakers, and the sun is tough on anything installed outside.
Most properties in Hidalgo County get their electricity from PNM or Columbus Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide surge protection throughout Lordsburg and in nearby Playas, Redrock, Virden, and Tyrone.

Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Lordsburg
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.
