Do a search on TOTV before you do anything as there have been lots of previous discussions. From what I have seen, lightning rods only offer limited protection for a direct strike, you can ask the installer what the guarantee is for a direct strike. You are much more likely to be involved with a close in strike, and in that case the whole house surge protection system would be a better choice, in my humble opinion. I just had the SECO system installed.
