Whole-Home Surge Protection, Done Right
A power surge is a short spike in voltage that can damage or shorten the life of electronics and appliances. A surge protective device installed at your panel helps limit surges before they spread through the house, and is a smart complement to plug-in surge strips at your desk and TV.
We choose the right device for your panel, install it with short, tidy connections and explain how to tell if it is still protecting. No protection can promise to stop a direct lightning strike, but good surge protection is a sensible layer of defense.
Music City Electrical brings whole-home surge protection to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 22 Middle Tennessee cities.

Test and Walk Through
We test the finished work with you, show you what changed and answer any questions before we go.
Will a whole-home surge protector stop lightning?
No device can promise to stop a direct lightning strike. A surge protector helps limit the damage from many surges, including those from nearby strikes and utility switching.
Do I still need surge strips?
Yes, a point-of-use strip adds a second layer of protection for sensitive equipment.
How do I know it is still working?
Most devices have indicator lights that show protection status. We show you what to look for, and can check it during a maintenance visit.
