I would think you would get a discount on your insurance if you had them.

We and many neighbors have had lightning rods since we moved here in 2011. Our house has been struck at least once and a couple of friends houses have also been struck in other neighborhoods without any damage. Two years ago the house across the street from us was hit causing a fire and other electrical damage. They do not have lightning protection. It depends on your risk tolerance, whether you need/want them. The cost is between $1500-$2500 depending on the size of the home. Insurance companies "may" give a discount.
