PROTECT YOUR ELECTRONICS & APPLIANCES
In today’s world, it’s more common than not that we have technology integrated throughout our homes. Home offices, entertainment systems, lighting controls, and more are the lifeblood of your home. These systems should be protected from lightning, as damage to these systems is fully preventable. Our experts can help you find the right surge protection for your house, ensuring your home and property is properly protected from lightning strikes.
When we install a lightning protection system, we create a pathway for the earth charge to travel to the top of the building.
As this electrical force reaches the top of the lightning rod system, it travels along the conductor system and up each of the air terminals.
These upward surges or charges are then dissipated into the surrounding air and then neutralized by the cloud charge at a safe distance above the building.
It is through the function of our lightning rod system, that we provide a continuous and safe metal pathway, to and from the earth for the flow of the electric charges during electrical storm periods.
As a professional lightning protection system company HG Lightning Protection designs lightning protection systems in accordance with the strictest standards and specifications.
Our lightning protection system design ensures you have the right infrastructure in place to protect your family, home, property, and equipment. We have a proven record of designing lightning protection systems that protect against structural damage to residential homes, and failure of internal systems and equipment.
The proper implementation of a lightning protection system includes knowledge, craftsmanship, and experience.
Failure to design a proper lightning system makes it ineffective. A lightning protection system is designed to create a direct path for the lightning charge to the ground. The system acts at the point where the lightning strikes, keeping the structure of the home and its occupants safe.
The experienced engineers at HG Lightning Protection will create a perfect design to protect your family and home from lightning.
Here are some types of lightning protection systems that can be designed:
Concealed: a fully concealed system can only be installed during the building of a new house. The cable and connections are made in the walls and attic. The only thing visible is the lightning rods.
Partially concealed: a partially concealed system can sometimes be installed on an existing house that has enough access and attic space to run the cable. For this type of installation the down conductors will be exposed from the soffit to the ground.
Exposed: a fully exposed system will have cable and lightning rods on the roof. The cable will be run behind the ridges and hips to be hidden as much as possible. The down conductors can be run behind gutter downspouts for less visibility.
A lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low-impedance path to the ground for potential strikes.
The dissipation of a lightning strike requires correct system design, installation in accordance with UL 96A, NFPA 780 and all listed components correctly installed and connected to earth. The installation must be designed to protect the entire structure not just a small portion or section of the structure.
The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum. Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection.
A well-designed, properly installed Lightning protection system mitigates the fire hazard that lightning strikes pose to homes.
A lightning protection system provides a low-impedance path for the lightning current to lessen the heating effect of current flowing through flammable structural materials. If lightning travels through porous and water-saturated materials, these materials may literally explode if their water content is flashed to steam by heat produced from the high current. This is why trees are often shattered by lightning strikes.
Our lightning protection team is in high demand and covers half the country. When circumstances demand an in-person estimate we’re happy to arrive on location and draft a detailed estimate.
When we can’t be there modern technology allows us to use a state-of-the-art, satellite-powered measuring tool that produces tremendously accurate surveying capabilities.
