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