The Reality of Lightning & Unsecured Structures
A common myth is that lightning rods attract lightning. This is not true. Lightning can strike anywhere and at any time. When lightning strikes, it will travel the path of least resistance to meet the ground. Without proactive lightning protection, this could mean your home or business.
Understanding Lightning Protection Systems
You cannot gauge the severity and destruction of lightning until the damage is done. However, you can implement protection to avoid risk. Commercial lightning and home lightning protection systems involve a network of pathways, conductors, air terminals, and ground rods that intercept and redirect lightning away from your property and into the ground.
Lightning Protection System Features
At Boston Lightning Rod Company, Inc., we specialize in installing sophisticated, multi-tiered lightning protection systems for residential and commercial buildings. Our advanced knowledge and expertise enable us to implement the following components:
Air terminals, commonly called lightning rods, are designed to intercept all lightning strikes. This component diverts lightning into the ground before it can travel through your home or business.
Bonds offer protection against side flashes, which are typically caused by trees. Bonds are critical as they allow for effective electric current control. These parts work by grounding metal objects to the main conductor cable of the lightning protection system.
Standard electrical grounds do not combat the risk of lightning strikes. Our specialized grounding elements are buried 10 feet underground to serve as the final landing point for lightning strikes.
Constructed from durable copper or aluminum materials, main conductors connect air terminals (lightning protection rods) to the ground.
Lightning strikes are notorious for triggering unexpected power outages. Our lightning protection system features a surge suppression component for these sudden surges. Lightning Surge suppression protects your appliances, electronics, and electrical system from irreparable damage.
