Lightning protection systems are designed to help manage dangerous electrical energy from a lightning strike. The system commonly includes air terminals, conductors, bonding, grounding electrodes, and sometimes surge protection devices.

For Arizona property owners, this matters because monsoon storms can produce dangerous lightning activity. Homes and businesses often contain expensive electronics, HVAC systems, appliances, security systems, internet equipment, machinery, and electrical panels that can be damaged by lightning-related energy.

A professional lightning protection system can help reduce the risk of fire, roof damage, electrical damage, and expensive equipment loss. It is especially important for taller buildings, exposed roofs, metal roof systems, warehouses, churches, schools, barns, and buildings with sensitive equipment.
