Residential Protection

A lightning strike to an unprotected home can be catastrophic. A single bolt of lightning carrying more than 30 million volts of electricity can rip through roofs, explode brick and concrete and ignite fires. Today's homes are especially susceptible to lightning damage. Lightning-attractive metal building components, irrigation and security systems, invisible and electric fences and sensitive electronic equipment are all factors that can increase a homeowner's potential for lightning damage.
