Are there any risks or dangers associated with having a lightning protection system installed?

0

When there are other buildings or structures that are connected electrically or through other conductors to the one with the lightning rod system, and those structures are not protected, there is a risk that lightning could strike those structures and it could affect your structure. We recommend that all structures that are connected to your structure in this way be included in the lightning protection system. Additions or changes after the lightning rod system is installed, that include conductors that are linked to your structure with lightning rods, can also cause problems. When making additions or changes to your building after lightning protection is installed, we recommend that you call a certified lightning installer to inspect it for safety. All of our installations are done according to Underwriters Laboratories Standard 96-A and National Fire Protection Association Code 780. In addition, all of our materials are approved by Underwriters Laboratories as well.
