"2 years and 4 months ago I hired the company to install 5 ceiling fan boxes. Last week one of the ceiling fan box installations failed and the box fell through the ceiling. I contacted the company to come for a repair. The tech came out and said that the installation was definitely performed incorrectly but it was 4 months outside their warranty window so I would have to pay for the repair out of pocket. The tech also agreed that he has never seen an installation fail and that the tech that did the original work had been fired for other issues. Despite this he refused to take care of the issue free of charge. Additional background information: when the initial installation was performed one of their techs put his foot through my ceiling. They sent a repair person to fix the damage but it was never fixed to my satisfaction. The company continued to slow walk the issue to the point that I was over dealing with them. Also 3 of the 5 boxes were installed to low and they had to come back a second time and reinstall them. One of these was the box that failed later and fell through the ceiling. I would avoid company in the future."

The main drawbacks of lightning protection systems are upkeep and appearance. The system needs routine cleaning and professional inspections; skip them, and the rods might fail when you need them most. Over time, those visits add a little extra cost and effort. Some homeowners also dislike the look of metal rods or cables along the roofline. If aesthetics worry you, ask your installer about lower-profile hardware or ways to blend the components into your roof.
No, the copper in lightning rods does not attract lightning. Instead, lightning targets the highest nearby point, not the metal itself. Copper is simply a superior conductor, which is why pros use it. When a bolt hits the rod, the copper safely channels the charge through the grounding cable and into the earth, sparing your home. Choosing copper doesn’t draw more strikes—it just handles them better.
Rod count depends on your home’s size and the system you choose. A 3,000-square-foot house needs six to eight copper or aluminum rods for full coverage, while a single ESE air terminal often protects the same area on its own. A UL-certified pro can measure your roof, spot potential strike points, and recommend the right number for complete peace of mind.
Always hire an Underwriters Laboratories-certified installer. A UL-certified pro follows the Lightning Protection Institute’s strict rules, mounts each rod securely, and uses only UL-listed parts. Professional installation protects you from falls, wiring mistakes, and code violations, and it ensures the system works exactly as designed when the next storm rolls through.
