Lightning protection installers or repairers in Shawnee
The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)
"We were contacted immediately regarding adding a lightning protection system on our home. Seamus was very thorough and knowledgeable regarding our concerns. He and his crew showed up and were very professional and efficient. We are very pleased with the installation and highly recommend Donahue’s."

"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."

FAQs for lightning protection install or repair projects in Shawnee, KS
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.
