My 1600 sq.ft. CYV was done for under $1000 and my neighbor's smaller house for less than that. This did not include surge protectors.

I did investigate and shop around, and my installation was more. It includes quite a few "air terminals" as the rods are known, as well as the grounding of the gas line and meter. All of the grounds run through the eaves of the house. Nothing touches the gutters, a huge mistake in an installation. It is a very professional job. It is not the kind of work where I would search for the least cost provider. I had recommendations from friends, did research, then made my decision. I have a Gardenia and it cost $2500 without the surge protection.
