Common Questions
What Property Owners Ask
Can lightning damage be hidden?
Yes. A strike can travel through wiring, piping, metal components and communication lines. Damage may be found away from the visible strike point.
Should I reset tripped breakers after a strike?
If there is any smoke, burning odor, heat, arcing or visible damage, leave the system alone and contact emergency services or a qualified electrician.
Can protection be added while the roof is repaired?
Often, yes. Roofing or reconstruction can be a good time to coordinate conductor routing and other system details.
