Surge Protection IN CHATTANOOGA & NORTH GEORGIA
Protect the Equipment That Runs Your Home
Power surges aren’t just lightning strikes. Utility switching, storms and large appliances cycling on and off create surges that can damage or gradually wear out the circuit boards in HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, refrigerators, washers and electronics.
Plug-in power strips can only protect what’s plugged into them. A whole-home surge protector installs at your electrical panel and helps protect hardwired equipment and every circuit in the house. Paired with quality point-of-use protection for sensitive electronics, it’s the strongest practical defense.
Metro’s electricians install surge protection safely at your panel and give you a firm, upfront price. Because we also service HVAC and water heaters, we see firsthand the equipment it helps protect.

EXPERT TIP FROM METRO’S MASTER-CERTIFIED TEAM
Check Protectors After Storms
Surge protectors wear out as they absorb surges. Check the indicator light on your whole-home protector and power strips periodically, especially after a big storm, and replace plug-in strips that are several years old or show a warning light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is happy to help, day or night.
What Is Whole-Home Surge Protection?
A whole-home surge protector installs at your electrical panel and limits surges entering the home before they reach your circuits.
What Causes Power Surges?
Lightning, utility switching and large appliances cycling on and off can all create surges. Small, repeated surges can wear electronics over time.
Don't Power Strips Protect Me?
Power strips protect individual devices. A whole-home protector helps protect hardwired equipment like HVAC systems, water heaters and appliances that power strips can't.
Will It Protect Against Lightning?
No device can guarantee protection from a direct lightning strike, but surge protection significantly reduces the risk from common surges.
Do I Still Need Power Strips?
A layered approach is best: whole-home protection at the panel plus point-of-use protection for computers and TVs.
How Do I Know it's Working?
Many surge protectors have indicator lights. We'll show you how to check yours.
