Lightning Protection for your Home
Get a lightning protection system installed on your home by NOVA Lightning Protection. We can install a concealed, partially concealed or exposed lightning system on your roof to protect your home from lightning. When designed during construction all of the lightning protection system, except the rooftop terminals, can be concealed and run inside the structure.
Decorative finials can also be used as air terminals, making the lightning protection an architectural accent. Fully concealed system can installed when constructing a new house. A partially concealed lightning protection system can be installed on an existing house depending upon how much access there is to run the cable. A fully exposed system has cables and lightning rods on the roof. The cables can be hidden behind the ridges and the down conductors can run behind the gutter sprouts for less visibility.
NOVA Lightning Protection provides a full range of lightning protection services including:
Risk Assessment – We perform a risk assessments before we install the lightning protection system. Lightning protection risk assessment is a process used to evaluate the risk of lightning strikes to structures and systems and to determine the necessary protective measures. This assessment helps to ensure that the appropriate level of protection is implemented to minimize the risks associated with lightning strikes, such as fire, structural damage, and electrical failures.
Lightning Protection System Design – Each property is unique and has a different size and shape. We design a lightning protection system that meets all standards. The design process follows several key steps to ensure that the system effectively intercepts, conducts, and disperses lightning energy safely into the ground.
Lightning Protection System Installation – We install the designed lightning protection system and make sure it complies to all standards and codes of practice.
Lightning Rod Installation – Lightning rods are usually placed at the highest points of a building or structure to maximize their effectiveness in attracting lightning strikes. This could include roof peaks, chimneys, or tall masts.
Grounding – Along with lightning rods, a grounding system consisting of grounding rods buried deep into the ground is essential. This system provides a safe path for the electrical current from a lightning strike to dissipate harmlessly into the earth.
Retrofit Existing Lightning Protection System – Retrofitting an existing lightning protection system involves making modifications or additions to enhance its effectiveness or meet updated safety standards.
Tests & Inspections of Lightning Protection Systems – We offer Annual testing of existing lightning protection systems.
