Q&A
After a lightning storm, my appliances won't turn on. What should I do?
This is a common sign of electrical surge damage. First, for safety, avoid using any appliances or outlets that seem affected. Contact DES Maintenance & Makeready. Our licensed electricians will perform a thorough electrical inspection to locate the damaged circuits or components, which often includes circuit breakers, outlets, or internal wiring. We'll safely repair or replace the damaged parts to restore power and protect your home from further issues.
Can you install something to protect my Chattanooga home from future power surges?
Absolutely. We recommend and install whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel. This device acts as a first line of defense, diverting dangerous voltage spikes from lightning or utility surges away from your home's wiring and appliances. It's a proactive measure that, combined with proper grounding and repairs of any existing damage, significantly reduces the risk of costly appliance repairs or replacements down the line.
A power surge seems to have fried my garbage disposal and doorbell. Can you fix both?
Yes, we can handle that. As a multi-trade company, our team can efficiently address both the electrical repair for the doorbell circuit and the garbage disposal replacement. We'll diagnose the root cause—often a compromised circuit or outlet—make the necessary electrical repairs, and then install your new disposal. This integrated approach saves you time and the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors for surge-related damage.
