The cost of a lightning protection system installed by a UL "listed" installer will depend on the size of your roof including any birdcage. You can expect a cost of about $1,300 for a villa and over $3,000 for a premier. The door-to-door installers will charge less than half of these amounts but you will have no idea if the system was designed and installed to the national standard on lightning, NFPA 780, 2011 edition. This is a buyer beware market place. If you are going to do it - do it right. See earlier post with the names of listed installers.
