"Disclaimer: I was given the opportunity to see cost and options and I did agree to pay for most of the services with the misconception of thinking this type of service is typical cost. However, after I being taken advantage of by replacing a working $5 receptacle and then charged me $77.00. This lead me to do further research and spoke to other licensed electricians. My Story; First let me offer a suggestion, if you don't want see Mr. Sparky's ridicules high cost options that will be over $1000 then don't allow them to do this so-called home inspection. One option was $1,300 to install smoke detectors, mind you smoke detectors cost between $30 to $80 and all you need is a ladder. I denied this option. 1) They installed a so-called home surge protection (Purpose understood) however this small device is just a surge protection device and does nothing to filter or clean variable AC. A device you can buy anywhere for around $200 and 2 std 15-60A breakers which cost between $15 and $40, the job itself typically around 1.5hrs. Cost (high side) should have been around $430, my cost $1,155 2) Installed a new outlet where there was none, cost of outlet $5, typical time maybe a .5 to 1hr depending on how fast electrician would be to run wire. Cost (high side) should have been around $105.00, Mr. Sparky cost $288 3) I stepped out of the house and the electrician asked my wife if he could replace a working receptacle because it had paint on it. Wife agreed. Cost should have been free being part is $5 bucks or $1 and takes 3 to 5 minutes to replace. But ok, maybe cost of $25. Mr. Sparky cost $77.00. No he did not tell us the cost to replace a working receptacle with just paint on it. Typically electrician hourly is $50 $100 an hr. I adjusted my cost on the high side. My total cost should have been a total of around $560, but Mr. Sparky's cost was $ 1,520.00. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MR.SPARKY!!!! Find someone who is reputable who doesn't gouge prices to unsuspecting people who don't do research to know they paid too much! It was my mistake, don't let it be yours."

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.
