Residential Lightning Systems

Choose Your Lightning System

• Concealed: a fully concealed system can only be installed during the building of a new house. The cable and connections are made in the walls and attic. The only thing visible are the lightning rods.
• Partially concealed: a partially concealed system can sometimes be installed on a existing house that has enough access and attic space to run the cable. For this type of installation the down conductors will be exposed from the soffit to the ground.
• Exposed: a fully exposed system will have cable and lightning rods on the roof. The cable will be ran behind the ridges and hips to be hidden as much as possible. The down conductors can be ran behind gutter downspouts for less visibility.
