Is your home or business at risk?

A lightning strike to an unprotected structure can be catastrophic. A single bolt of lightning carrying more than 30 million volts of electricity can rip through roofs, explode brick and concrete and ignite fires. The good news is that lightning is the only force of nature where affordable and reliable protection is available.

The ULPA is your trusted resource to put you in touch with qualified lightning protection specialists who can install lightning protection systems in accordance with industry safety standards.
