Per an AI app, the cost of installing a LPS in The Villages for a 1600 sq ft home was $2050, but some basic systems cost as low as $600. It estimated the cost of LPS for a 2000 sq ft home to be no more than $2500 and a low of $1200. What is typically included: Lightning rods, conductors and ground rods, bonding to gas lines, water pipes and electrical systems, surge protectors. Also, recommended is an UL inspection which is optional. Look for UL-certified installers or those approved by the Lightning Protection Institute. Bonding CSST (corrugated Stainless-Steel Tubing) gas lines is often overlooked but critical. Homes built after 2005 are more likely to have CSST and in newer homes it is very likely.
