Yet, in a talk that Chief Tucker gave to some villagers he downplayed the need for lightning rods and said that he did not have them on his own house. He did say that if you wanted to get them to make sure that the contractor would provide UL certification. He indicated that there was only one such contractor in the area that did this. A system that is improperly installed is actually more dangerous than not having one at all since the way they work is that they actually attract lightning. A well installed system will safely lead the charge to the ground. An improperly installed system will allow the charge to go through your house.
