Frequently asked questions
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
No. The National Weather Service says height, a pointed shape and isolation decide where lightning strikes, and the presence of metal makes no difference. A lightning rod gives a strike that would hit the house anyway a safe path to ground. See how a lightning rod works.
What does a home lightning protection system include?
The Lightning Protection Institute lists five parts: strike termination devices (air terminals, the "rods"), conductors, grounding electrodes, bonding, and surge protection. See what a real system on a house looks like.
Is lightning protection required for a house?
Not by code in most places. For a home it is usually the owner's risk decision. See is lightning protection required by code.
How much does lightning rod installation cost for a house?
It depends on the roof: its size and shape, chimneys and other rooftop features, and how many ground connections the soil needs. Our lightning rod installation cost guide collects published price surveys. For your house, ask for a free estimate.
How often should a home lightning protection system be inspected?
NFPA 780 and LPI-175 recommend a visual inspection every year and a full inspection with testing every 3 to 5 years (1 to 3 years for critical facilities). You should also have your system inspected after a lightning strike or any roof or building work. Your insurer or contract may require more frequent inspections.
