A lightning strike to an unprotected home can be catastrophic.

Why weather the storm?

Protect your home and family from the deadly force of lightning.

Today's homes are especially vulnerable to lightning.

Modern homes are more susceptible to lightning damage than ever. Metal building components, irrigation and security systems, invisible and electric fences, computers and sensitive electronic appliances are common in homes today. These lightning attractive features can increase a homeowner's potential for serious lightning damage. A properly installed lightning protection system minimizes the threat of lightning related damage. The security and peace of mind that the system offers is a big return on a small investment.

The System

A lightning protection system performs a simple task, providing a specified path on which lightning can travel. When a building is equipped with a protection system, the destructive power of the lightning strike is directed safely into the ground, leaving the structure, personnel and equipment unharmed.

Protecting Electronics from Lightning

Modern homes are especially vulnerable to the havoc that lightning can wreak on sensitive electronic equipment. To assure the highest level of protection, UL-listed lightning surge arresters should be installed on electrical service panels. Arresters are the first line of defense against harmful electrical surges that can enter a structure through power lines. by filtering and dissipating the harmful surges, arresters prevent electrical fires and protect against transients that can damage a building's electrical system.
