Lightning Protection Systems
Below are some common questions about lightning protection systems.
What is a lightning protection system, and why is it important?
A lightning protection system is a network of air terminals, cables, and grounding rods designed to safely redirect lightning strikes into the ground, protecting your structure and sensitive equipment. It is essential, especially in Texas, where storm activity is frequent, to reduce the risk of damage and ensure safety.
Does a lightning protection system prevent lightning from striking?
No, it does not prevent lightning from striking; instead, it safely controls the lightning's energy, helping to avoid damage to structures, electronics, and occupants.
Are lightning protection systems only for large buildings?
Not at all. Lightning protection is beneficial for homes, small businesses, and large commercial properties alike. Any structure can be at risk, and our solutions are customized to fit your needs.
How long do lightning protection systems last?
When properly installed and maintained, a lightning protection system can last decades. Routine inspections are critical to ensure the system's functionality.
Is lightning protection required by Texas law?
While not mandated by law, lightning protection systems are highly recommended. Many insurance companies and building codes encourage them to reduce risk and enhance safety.

What is whole home surge protection?
Whole home surge protection safeguards your electrical system and connected devices from power surges caused by storms, utility issues, or internal electrical spikes.
