We design and install lightning rod systems on all residential and commercial structures
Services:
A lightning protection system is intended to last the life of the structure it protects and typically only requires maintenance if a home or building is changed structurally or mechanically. Such changes might include a new roof, an addition, new electrical service or the installation of a satellite dish.
Our services include:
- Inspect an existing system for deficiencies
- Inspect systems after remodeling or roof repair work
- Install complete systems
- Repair work on an existing system
- Design consultation
- Free estimates
Materials:
Conductor Cables
Copper conductors: 1/2″ diameter braided cable consisting of 32 strands of 17 gauge copper wire.
Aluminum conductors: 5/8″ diameter braided cable consisting of 26 strands of 14 gauge aluminum wire.
Air Terminal Rods
Copper sizes range from 3/8″ x 10″ to 1/2″ x 24″
Aluminum sizes range from 1/2″ x 10″ to 5/8″ x 24″
Rods over 24″ are available to order with a required brace.
Ground Terminals
Copper ground rods ranging from 1/2″ x 8′ to 3/4″ x 10′
Lightning Arrestors
These devices are installed on electric service panels to prevent dangerous high voltage from entering a structure through the incoming wires. The arrestor works as a filter to defray incoming voltage, thus preventing a lightning-induced electrical fire or explosion.
Surge Suppressors
These are installed between the appliance, electronic equipment or computer and the electrical outlet to provide point-of-entry surge suppression from lightning induced power surges. Structures which contain sensitive electronic equipment may require a series of individual surge suppressors. Surge suppressors are not a required component of UL approved lightning protection system and can be implemented with the lightning protection system at the owner’s discretion or per installer’s recommendations.
Ornamental Points
Ornate points are available in a variety of selections to enhance the appearance of traditional lightning rods of a structure.
