How does Lightning Protection USA protect You from Lightning?

We offer lightning protection testing, installations and maintenance at competitive rates. Lightning rods are mounted at  elevated places where lightning is most likely to strike.  The lightning rods are attached to an aluminum or copper cable that’s connected to an underground conductive grid.   Lightning protection systems must meet current requirements and be installed correctly to provide optimal protection.

We can install a concealed, partially concealed or exposed lightning system on your roof to protect your home from lightning.  When designed during construction all of the lightning protection system, except the rooftop terminals, can be concealed and run inside the structure.  Decorative finials can also be used as air terminals, making the lightning protection an architectural accent. Fully concealed system can installed when constructing a new house. A partially concealed lightning protection system can be installed on an existing house depending upon how much access there is to run the cable. A fully exposed system has cables and lightning rods on the roof. The cables can be hidden behind the ridges and the down conductors can run behind the gutter sprouts for less visibility.

Lightning Protection for Trees, Pennsylvania

Lightning rods can be installed on trees in Pennsylvania.  When lightning strikes a tree it will be dispersed through the rods and into the ground.  Lightning will move through the trees by traveling along the moisture in the wood.  If you have many trees, it may not be reasonable to install lightning rods on all the trees.  In this case, we install lightning rods to the trees that are closest to the property and are tallest.
