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

Why Mule Creek properties call a local electrician
Mule Creek has long, hot summers and mild winters, so cooling equipment does most of the electrical work. Panels in direct sun run hot, exposed conduit and cable degrade, and afternoon thunderstorms in monsoon season deliver frequent surges.
Depending on your address, power in Grant County typically comes from PNM or a rural electric cooperative. 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 Mule Creek, or in nearby Glenwood, Cliff, Gila, and Virden.

Usually about an hour, with power off for only part of that time.

Yes. They absorb energy each time they work. Most have an indicator light that shows when the device needs replacing.
