Why Install a Lightning Protection System in Sanibel?
Although it is often thought that lightning rods serve to attract lightning, in reality, they function as the path of least resistance. They are designed to capture and redirect the flow so that lightning strikes are guided into the ground and out of danger. Properly engineered and installed lightning rods on Sanibel houses can handle a tremendous amount of electrical voltage. The purpose of a lightning protection system is to prevent electrocution and house fires from occurring when lightning strikes.
Saving Homes in Sanibel from Lightning Damage
Whether you hire WB Lightning Rods to install a lightning protection system on your Sanibel home or not, lightning strikes WILL happen. WB Lightning Rods's #1 priority is to make sure you are prepared. Lightning generally strikes the tallest structure in the immediate area. When it strikes a material that is a poor electrical conductor, that item will suffer massive electrical and heat damage (homes, trees, etc). Lightning rods protect your family and your building investment because they redirect electrical currents away from a home, preventing fires and protecting electrical devices from being "fried". WB Lightning Rods has been keeping families and residential properties safe from the disastrous effects of lightning strikes in Sanibel since 1950.

The Components of a Lightning Protection System
For houses, barns, and other residential structures in Sanibel, installing lightning protection systems is a sound decision. There are several primary components to the lighting systems installed by WB Lightning Rods.
1. The Lightning Rod: The rod is installed on the highest point of the lightning protection system, and sustains the strike. WB Lightning Rods installs rods in locations that are most likely to be hit with lightning, such as the tallest points on a house.
2. Lightning Cables: These copper or aluminum cables are attached to the lightning rod. The cables serve to direct lightning strikes into the ground.
3. Grounding Device: Steel rods that direct the electric charge deep into the ground, and away from houses, trees, and people.
4. Surge Protectors: Located between the electrical conductors and the ground. They move powerful flows of electric currents away from your connected devices and into the ground. They are used to minimize the rise in voltage levels when lightning strikes nearby.

★★★★★ - "The installation was quick and with first rate materials. The Tampa Bay area holds a US record for the number of thunderstorms per year. I think that one week after installation the RV storage building that is protected by the lightning rods was struck. Aside from one gosh awful noise there was no damage."
