Hold your lightning rod there
There is no requirement that a UL or LPI certification is needed.
The NFPA 780, the national standard on lightning can be followed by anyone. Be aware NFPA-780 has no force in law!
I never said it costs $200 to install a system, that's what the parts are for rods, cable fittings etc.
Here's one online
store selling what's needed
They can be installed by the homeowner, if handy.
Just like a whole house surge protector. (there are U tube videos showing how )
If an in-stealer wants to charge that kinda of money for one days work that's up to you to shop around or not.
