How Does Lightning Protection Work?

A lightning protection system safely directs the powerful electrical current from a lightning strike away from the building. Lightning rods capture the strike, conductor cables carry the electricity down the structure, and grounding rods disperse it safely into the earth, helping prevent fire, structural damage, and electrical hazards.

Complete Lightning Protection System Services

Lightning rods are only one part of a complete lightning protection system. Air terminals, conductor cables, bonding connections and grounding components must work together to provide a planned path for lightning energy to travel toward the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lightning protection system?

A lightning protection system is designed to intercept a lightning strike and provide a controlled path for the electrical current to travel safely toward the ground. A complete system may include lightning rods, conductors, grounding electrodes, bonding components and surge protection.

Do lightning rods prevent lightning from striking a building?

No. Lightning rods do not prevent lightning from occurring or attract lightning to a building. They are designed to intercept a strike and work with the rest of the lightning protection system to direct the electrical current toward the ground.

Does my Florida home need lightning protection?

Florida experiences frequent thunderstorms and lightning activity. A professionally designed lightning protection system can provide an additional level of protection for homes and their occupants. The appropriate system depends on the home’s size, construction, roof design and other characteristics.

Can lightning protection systems be installed on existing homes?

Yes. Lightning protection can be installed on both existing homes and new construction. For an existing property, the structure is evaluated to determine appropriate lightning rod placement, conductor routing, grounding and bonding.

Do you install lightning protection on commercial buildings?

Yes. Elite Lightning Rods provides lightning protection for commercial properties, including offices, warehouses, retail buildings, industrial facilities, multifamily properties and other structures.

Do you provide lightning protection for barns and agricultural buildings?

Yes. Lightning protection systems can be designed for barns, agricultural buildings, equipment structures and other rural properties. The design can account for factors such as large roof areas, metal roofing, electrical equipment and exposed locations.

Can lightning protection be installed on a home with solar panels?

Yes. Homes and commercial buildings with solar panels can have lightning protection systems. The solar array and related equipment should be considered when planning lightning rod placement, conductor routing, grounding, bonding and surge protection.

How often should a lightning protection system be inspected?

Lightning protection systems should be periodically inspected and should also be checked after significant building alterations, roofing work, additions or other changes that could affect the system. An inspection can identify damaged, disconnected or altered components that may require attention.

Can an existing lightning protection system be repaired or upgraded?

Yes. Older or damaged lightning protection systems can often be inspected, repaired, maintained or upgraded. This may include replacing damaged components, correcting connections, addressing changes to the structure or updating portions of the system when appropriate.
