Lightning protection is a specialty discipline and only experienced and UL-listed installers are qualified to install your work in accordance with nationally recognized safety standards.

Proper installation is a must. Since lightning is a unique form of electricity, lightning protection is a highly specialized trade that is governed by industry codes and standards. Only a trained expert should install a lightning protection system; installation is not a do-it-yourself project. Roofers, general contractors or electricians are generally not qualified to provide lightning protection and should not attempt installation. To ensure proper installation and design, it’s imperative that lightning protection installers adhere to the requirements of national safety standards. The ULPA can help you locate a qualified professional who can install your system in accordance with these safety standards.

Lightning protection is a specialty discipline. Only UL-listed installers are qualified to install your work in accordance with the nationally recognized safety standards of the Lightning Protection Institute (LPI), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
