LIGHTNING ARRESTORS

These devices are installed on electric service panels to prevent dangerous high voltage from entering a structure through the incoming wires. The arrestor works as a filter to defray incoming voltage, thus preventing a lightning-induced electrical fire or explosion.

ORNAMENTAL POINTS

Ornate points are available in a variety of selections to enhance the appearance of traditional lightning rods of a structure. 

We believe protecting your home or business is the most important job, therefore we use the best materials and offer you over 55 years experience protecting people and property from lightning destruction.
