Frequently Asked Questions

Does my home need lightning protection?

Homes in open areas, on hills, near water, or with tall trees in close proximity have elevated risk. Homes with valuable electronics, irreplaceable contents, or on acreage in Central Texas benefit significantly from protection.

What is a UL Master Label?

The UL Master Label is issued by Underwriters Laboratories and certifies that a lightning protection system was installed to UL 96A standards. It's the gold standard for lightning protection certification and may be required by some insurance carriers.

Is lightning protection the same as surge protection?

No — they work together. Lightning rods and down conductors intercept and safely channel a direct lightning strike to ground. Surge protective devices (SPDs) protect electrical equipment from the voltage surge a nearby strike creates on the power lines.
