We install high grade surge protectors that protect your electric devices from high voltage spikes in AC (Alternating Current) circuits. A voltage spike may last 1 to 30 microseconds and can reach up to 1,000 volts. However, if there is a lightning strike to your power line, the spike can reach over 100,000 volts and can easily destroy electronics or start fires. When a spike occurs, a surge protector will trigger at its set voltage and divert the remaining current to the ground.

Lightning protection is often installed in the form of a lightning rod or conductor. These devices are made of metal and stand to protect the structure on which they are installed. This happens because lightning will preferentially strike the device, which guides the current through itself and to the ground, rather than through the structure. This prevents electronic damage, electrocution, fire, etc.

Grounds are often used in conjunction with other lightning prevention devices and systems. There are many types of grounds and grounding devices. However, their purpose is to disperse the current of a lightning strike out in a safe way. This is an essential part of lightning protection.
