Most homeowners think that lightning
protection just protects their electronics - and combined with a
quality UPS system, it does. But that is not the most
important reason to have a lightning protection system
installed.
Fire.
That is the biggest danger from
lightning for the average home. It’s not just wood houses
that run the risk of fire and other types of lightning damage.
Remember, lightning is attracted to metal, and lightning runs
the path of least resistance. Strange but true – it often goes
straight down the chimney, and into the room below.
Think lightning strikes are rare?
In 2005, there were
30,159,533 recorded * cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the US.
Protect your home, and protect your family. That's the
most important reason to call ALPS today.
