While a lightning protection system reduces the risk of damage to your home, there are some drawbacks to keep in mind. The system requires regular cleaning and inspections to operate correctly. Without proper maintenance, it might malfunction during a storm, leaving your home vulnerable. Additionally, the installation cost and the appearance of rods on your roof may be concerns for you.
No, copper doesn't attract lightning. Lightning naturally strikes the tallest point in an area, regardless of the material. Copper is used in lightning rods because it's an excellent conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes the rod, the copper safely channels the electrical current through cables into a grounding system buried in the earth, effectively protecting your home from damage.
The number of lightning rods your home needs depends on its size and the type of protection system you choose. For example, a 3,000-square-foot home requires six to eight copper or aluminum lightning rods to ensure full coverage. Alternatively, a single Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal system can protect the entire home. It's best to consult a UL-certified professional to determine the exact number of rods needed for optimal protection.
