Seriously????

40 years ago on Long Island there were 2 guys going around offering to "recharge" your lightning rods for $100-----With inflation taken into account, I'd be glad to "recertify" lightning rods for let's say $400. Of course, the hard part is getting lightning to strike them so we know "they work".
