At NOVA Lightning Protection, we specialize in safeguarding homes, commercial buildings, and rural properties with industry-leading lightning protection solutions.
The Dangers of Lightning Strikes
Lightning is one of nature’s most powerful forces, and when it strikes unprotected structures, it can result in severe damage, including:
- Fire Hazards – Lightning can ignite fires where it makes contact with flammable materials such as wood, insulation, and gas lines.
- Electrical System Overload – The surge from a lightning strike can travel through phone lines, electrical wiring, and plumbing, damaging or destroying appliances, electronics, and HVAC systems.
- Structural Damage – The intense shock wave from a lightning strike can cause cracks in walls, shatter glass, and even compromise a building’s foundation.
- Personal Safety Risks – Side flashes, which occur when lightning jumps through the air to find a better path to the ground, can injure people inside a building or nearby.
How a Lightning Protection System Works
A professionally installed lightning protection system doesn’t prevent strikes but instead provides a controlled path for the lightning’s energy to safely reach the ground. Our expertly designed systems include:
- Lightning Rods (Air Terminals): Capturing the lightning strike at safe, designated points.
- Conductors: Safely guiding the electrical energy away from your structure.
- Grounding Rods: Dispersing the energy harmlessly into the ground.

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.
