Yes, We have intsallation and inspection centers located in the Notheast, Southeast and West Coast. Please call for information.

(10) IS IT TRUE THAT LIGHTNING RODS ATTRACT LIGHTNING ?

NO! IT IS NOT. Lightning rods do not attract lightning, but since they are placed at the high point on a roof, and if properly grounded, lightning will hit the rod. If lightning were going to strike your home, it would strike whether the Rod is there or not. An ungrounded Lightning Rod is no different than any other metal object on your roof such as metal vents, antennas, etc.

(11) CAN'T I USE MY OWN ELECTRICAL WIRE AND EQUIPMENT TO GROUND MY LIGHTNING RODS ?

Electrical parts and wire are not designed to handle the millions of volts and up to 150, 000 amperes of power of Lightning. If you are going to Install Lightning Protection, DO IT RIGHT and use the right wire and equipment that is designed specifically to handle the immense power of Lightning.

(12) I HEARD THAT IT TAKES A SPECIALIST TO INSTALL LIGHTNING RODS ?

If you are mechanically inclined and take the time to correctly inform yourself and are not afraid to get on your roof, then there is no reason why you can't do it yourself. A copy of the installation instructions is available.
