Why Install a Lightning Rod in Glenn Heights

Lightning rods are metal poles that are installed on commercial buildings and local homes to protect them from lightning strikes in Glenn Heights. If lightning strikes the building, it will be drawn to the rod, rather than the rooftop, where high voltage can travel throughout the building and destroy electronics or cause fires.

Instead of attracting lightning, the rods actually function as the path of least resistance to channel electricity directly into the ground and away from the building or other objects. Well-positioned lightning rods can handle a tremendous amount of electrical currents and divert them from homes and other buildings.

 

Protecting Glenn Heights Homes From Lightning Strikes

Lightning strikes are frequent in Glenn Heights, and whether a protection system is in place or not, buildings are regularly struck. Lightning Protectors has helped many residents prepare by installing a lightning protection system in Glenn Heights. Lightning strikes the tallest structures in the area, usually houses and trees. When it strikes a structure that is not a good conductor, that structure can sustain massive electrical and/or heat damage.

Lightning rods serve the important function of redirecting electric currents away from homes and commercial buildings, preventing fires and electrical devices from being "fried".
