Default Re: Gas lines in the attic in lightning-prone areas

We have gas appliances in our house and, at the time we purchased, considered it a plus and never gave it a moment's thought. Rest assured now that we are giving it many moments' thought! Though we've only begun to look into it, I suspect that a properly installed lightning arresting system will not cost more than retrofitting a house to get rid of gas range, water heater, dryer, and furnace and replace all with electric. I could be wrong....
