The Importance of Lightning Protection

Lightning strikes can cause significant damage to your home, including structural damage, fires, and electrical surges. Lightning protection systems can help protect your home from these dangers. By intercepting the lightning strike and safely conducting it to the ground, away from your home, lightning protection systems can help minimize the damage caused by lightning strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a lightning protection system?
    This system protects your home by providing a safe path for the destructive energy (up to 30 million volts) of a lightning bolt to the earth. When installed to meet US Safety standards (UL and NFPA), this system serves to protect your expensive electronic equipment as well as occupants of buildings with metal components. 
  • What are lightning rods?
    These are components of the protection system. The entire system consists of the rods (or air terminals), the cable (or conductor), the bonding, and finally the grounding. 
  • Do the lightning rods attract lightning?
    No, they neither attract nor prevent strikes by lightning. They only intercept the strikes and provide a safe path to the ground, therefore allowing for the safe discharge of the millions of volts in the lightning bolt. 
  • Are lightning rods unsightly?
    No. Modern systems are designed to be inconspicuous and are often undetectable. With an experienced contractor designing your system, you can ensure that the aesthetic value of your property is not compromised. 
  • What are lightning surge protectors?
    These are devices that work like filters. They prevent the lightning from destroying electronics by defraying the surge in incoming voltage through the electric service panel where they are installed. 
  • What are lightning surge suppressors?
    Electrical appliances and equipment that have sensitive components may require individual protection from power surges caused by lightning. Surge suppressors installed between the devices and the electrical outlet provide this individualized protection. They are not a required component of a lightning protection system; however, they are recommended. 
  • Can the trees on my property help me with lightning protection?
    No. Trees that are too near your home can actually be a danger as they are poor conductors of electricity. A tree can deflect lightning, resulting in a side flash that can damage your home. Trees can be protected and incorporated into the lightning protection. 
  • Can my TV Antenna or satellite dish protect my property from lightning?
    No. These structures can instead attract lightning strikes. If not grounded properly, they can result in serious damage to your home. Old antennas and dishes should be removed if they are not serving any purpose. 
  • I have installed arrestors, surge suppressors, and whole-house protectors. Is this adequate lightning protection for my house?
    Arrestors, surge suppressors, and whole-house protectors are only a part of the whole protection system. They should be installed in conjunction with lightning rods, grounding, and bonding in order to provide adequate protection for your home. 
  • Does home insurance cover damage from lightning strikes?
    Many insurance companies will compensate for damage for the initial occurrence. However, most companies will deny claims for subsequent occurrences.
