Dangerous
power surges happen all year around.
Nearly
every electrical device and appliance in today’s
homes use sensitive solid-state components.
Although you are not aware of it, there are
hundreds of very short duration 1,000 plus-volt
surges in a typical home’s wiring every
day. Some get as high as 5,000 volts.

Even
if none of the voltage surges are strong enough
to destroy the electronic components, these frequent
smaller surges can slowly break down wiring insulation.
This causes premature device failure or faulty
operation.
Your
small plug-in (point-of-use) surge arresters do
not provide adequate protection. Furthermore,
there are appliances (heating and A/C, etc.) which
cannot be protected with these simple plug-in
arresters. Also, damage caused to electrical equipment
can come in as a result of an “indirect”
strike to the utility lines or pole even as far
away as a couple of miles and follow these wires
into your home. It makes little difference whether
you have underground or overhead utility wires.
The lightning charges will follow these wires
into your home.

show that your appliances will last up to 30%
longer if you have surge protection installed.

This
current surge suppression technology has been
found to greatly minimize the possibility of wiring
system flashover and resulting fire and injury.
It shall, however, be noted that lightning is
a powerful phenomenon, which may exceed the capabilities
of the surge suppression equipment alone, or enter
through unpredictable and unanticipated paths.
With this in mind, there can be no absolute guarantee
against damage to connected equipment.
We
suggest that both, the surge suppression package
and the lightning rods be installed, as they work
together to provide a complete package that UL
rates at 99% effective in preventing lightning
damage.

Lightning
Protection:
|
There
are two components to a complete lightning protection
system.
1.
Lightning Rods and Grounding to protect the
structure from a direct lightning strike and
subsequent damage to componentry and personal
injury.
2.
Whole-house surge protection (electric, phone,
cable/satellite) to protect from an indirect
lightning strike or an electrical power surge
coming in through the utility lines.

History
of Lightning Rods:
Invented
in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin, and still referred to
as, “The Franklin Rod,” lightning protection
systems are made from materials that conduct electricity
easily. You can find the story of Franklin's lightning
rod at the Franklin
Institute.
A
lightning rod system works by providing a pre-determined
path of low resistance to the ground which discharges
the stroke quickly and harmlessly. A lightning protection
system is so effective at dissipating the stroke to
ground that occupants in the protected building are
often unaware that the building has even been struck.

We
offer various styles of
Lightning Rods for Your Home
Lightning
Rods and Surge Suppressers work together, and both should
be installed to form a complete protection package. (UL
rates a lightning protection system 99% effective in preventing
lightning damage).
