What Customers Say About Our Electricians

“The three-man crew came out early, did a great job, and left everything neat and tidy. They explained what they were doing to increase my home from 100 amp to 200 amp. Communication with their scheduling went very well.”

Jimmy Wilemon

Albuquerque homeowner · panel upgrade

“We renovated a 1950s Santa Fe adobe with outdated cloth wiring and aluminum connections. Add On Electric handled the entire rewiring and copper pigtailing cleanly without gouging our historic plaster.”

Elena Trujillo

Santa Fe resident · remodel

“Installed dual Level 2 EV charging stations for our commercial retail shop in Rio Rancho. Finished ahead of schedule, passed municipal inspection on the first pass, and billed exactly to the initial quote.”

Concerned about power surges?

Power Surges Can Damage More Than Your Electronics

Monsoon lightning, utility switching, and even large appliances cycling on and off can send surges through your home's wiring.

Plug-in surge strips only protect what is plugged into them. Appliances, cooling equipment, and hardwired devices are left exposed, and surge damage is not always covered by insurance.

How we handle it

Surge Protection Installed Right at Your Panel

A whole-home surge protector installs at your electrical panel and helps protect every circuit in the house, not just the outlets with surge strips.

We check your panel and grounding, recommend the right protection for your home, and install it cleanly and to code.

Wondering how it works?

Waiting Adds Cost to Electrical Repairs

Delaying necessary electrical work or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to:

  • Overloaded breakers and heat damage in the panel
  • Failed inspections that delay a sale or remodel
  • Unsafe aluminum or outdated wiring left in place
  • Losing power when you need emergency electrical help

Questions About Whole-Home Surge Protection

Do I still need surge strips with whole-home protection?

Many people keep surge strips for sensitive electronics as a second layer. The whole-home protector handles larger surges coming into the house.

How long does installation take?

In most homes it takes a few hours. We let you know ahead of time if your panel needs any changes first.

Is surge protection worth it in New Mexico?

Monsoon season brings frequent lightning, so many local homeowners find it is a small cost compared with replacing damaged appliances.
