Lightning Strike Protection

Surge protection is good. When we install surge protection, I always tell the property owners a surge protector to a direct lightning hit is like holding up a stop sign in front of a speeding freight train. It's not going to stop it. The best defense along with surge protectors is to do what you can to prevent strikes from happening in the first place. Find a qualified installer of lightning rods and see what they recommend.
