A residential lightning protection system is designed to safeguard your home and family from the dangers of lightning strikes. It typically consists of air terminals (lightning rods), conductors, ground rods, and surge protection devices. The system works by providing a direct path for lightning to follow, safely channeling the electrical energy into the ground, away from your home. This helps prevent fire hazards, structural damage, and electrical surges that can harm your electronic devices.

We carefully position cables to maintain your home's aesthetic, placing them behind ridges, under shingles, along gutters, or at corners.

System Installation Types:

Exposed: The exposed system offers a cost-effective solution with an emphasis on blending seamlessly into your home's aesthetic. It is easily accessible for inspection and maintenance, making it a practical choice for many homeowners. (Most Common Choice)

Semi-Concealed: Perfect for homes with attic access, this option conceals most rooftop components, offering a cleaner look. The roof level components are hidden within the attic, with downleads exiting discreetly through the soffit or via mechanical wall assemblies, they are then carefully routed to remain as inconspicuous as possible. (Second Most Common Choice)

Concealed: Primarily for new constructions, the concealed system shows only the air terminals. A fully concealed system can be accomplished on existing homes, however it requires more extensive interior work and repairs. (Very Rare On Existing Homes)
