Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) commonly called lightning rods are not inexpensive if they are designed, installed and maintained according to the national standard on lightning and installed by an Underwriters Laboratories and Lightning Protection Institue "listed" installer.

The following are estimates that The Study Group on Lightning use in our Power Point presentations: Villa $1300-1700; Ranch $1800-2100, Designer, $2000-3000, Premier $2500-3500. There are firms working in The Villages that will charge far less but you do not know what you are getting in a buyer beware market place. Always get at least two bids and ask for evidence of general liability and workers comp insurance.
