What's Driving Whole Home Surge Protection Demand in New Mexico
PNM's Public Safety Power Shutoff program, now active across six high-fire-risk areas of New Mexico, means homes in those zones go through periodic planned de-energization and re-energization rather than a single uninterrupted power supply, and the voltage swing that comes with a line being re-energized after a shutoff can damage appliances and electronics throughout a home just as effectively as a lightning-driven surge would. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel level to guard every circuit at once against exactly that kind of event, and it's become a more relevant conversation for New Mexico homeowners in PNM's designated shutoff areas specifically, on top of the state's more general lightning and grid-event risk.
Licensing in New Mexico: New Mexico requires anyone performing unsupervised residential and commercial electrical work to hold an EE-98J Journeyman Electrician license issued by the Construction Industries Division of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, based on the recommendation of its Electrical Bureau. Qualifying requires at least 8,000 hours (four years) of on-the-job electrical training under a licensed electrician's supervision, though accredited apprenticeship, college, university, or manufacturer training programs can substitute for up to half of that requirement. Applicants must then pass a two-part written exam plus a practical exam, both administered by PSI, before the license is issued.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the electricians I'm connected with licensed?
Licensing requirements for electrical work vary by state, and most states require a licensed electrician for anything beyond simple fixture swaps — this matters for both safety and code compliance. Ask the provider directly about their licensing and insurance before work begins.
How do I know what kind of electrical service I need?
The right service usually comes down to what's happening — a dead outlet, a tripping breaker, a panel that's out of capacity, or a new install all point to different types of jobs. When you call, describe exactly what you're noticing and we'll help match you with a provider suited to that specific problem.
