Truthfully, I didn’t expect an answer.

My thoughts are if we were looking at 20,000 to 30,000+ installations that answer would’ve popped up.
However I understand both companies are busy installing are booked up several months advance. Which also may make the customer uncomfortable waiting, or look at other avenues.
It doesn’t really answer how many they are doing per day per week per month it’s just a question still no answer.

However since you run a club about lightning strikes. What are the stats of a house struck next to one with protection? How many house from the 12 houses struck was there a home protected?

How does one know if your rod was struck saving your house?

Our homes on coastal areas, have systems installed, (only 11 out of 800) but no house in the community has been struck. Even though there are great lightning storms as frequently as FL
