We have three companies coming out to give an estimate on a lightning rod system but does this safeguard your home completely?
I've never in my life been afraid of storms but I do find my anxiety level increasing with every storm.

I bought a house in TV two years ago. Last year a home totally was destroyed in the Village of Linden. I went to a POA meeting on educational lightening safety and protection. (Meeting was on their website) Make sure you go with a lightening rod company that is fully qualified. I called A1 Lightening and had rods installed. Cost goes by how many peaks you have on your roof, bird cage, gas pipe etc. I have an Arlington CYV and the cost was $1650. I also had Seco put a whole house surge protector on my electric meter. I then put individual surge protector strips on my computer/printer and TVs and garage door opener.
Now when it thunders and lightening I feel safe.
