A Season for Concern
Thunderstorms = lightning.. Did you know that other than the state of Florida, the Miami Valley is one of the most frequent areas to develop dangerous thunderstorms with lightning?

Property loss in the United States is in the hundred of millions annually due to lightning. Often the reasons for a call to the fire department is to investigate a smoking or damaged appliance, power outages, or even damage to the house itself.

But it is all too often that we respond to house fires as a direct result of lightning.

New Concerns

Our homes today are filled with sophisticated electronic equipment. Everything from home computers to color televisions are controlled by sensitive electronics. When a lightning strike occurs this equipment can be easily damaged or destroyed. A direct lightning hit is not necessary to cause serious damage to electronics in your home. A strike within 500 to 1000 feet can cause damage or fire.

It Can Be Prevented

Did you know that damage and fires caused by lightning can be prevented? By adding a lightning protection system to your home you can be 99% effective in preventing lightning damage and fire cause by lightning to your home.

Lightning protection systems neither attract nor repel lightning strikes, they simply provide a safe electrical path to earth for the lightning's energy.
