When you drive around TV take a good look at lightening rod installations and see how they very. I was driving around Bonnybrook and noticed on one home that the highest rod was lower than any of the metal vent pipes on the roof and in some cases a foot or two lower. After seeing this I started to look at other homes and see how they were installed and things varied a lot.

I don't recall. This was at a presentation that he did last summer. I'm sure that if you call and ask any of the companies that do this that they will tell you about their UL status.

As to the qualifications of my installer:
He works on most commercial properties in TV and Lake County, where he's based.
His card reads: "Members of Underwriters Laboratories, National Fire Protection Agency, Lightning Protection Institute,Certfied Master Installer/Designed"
Couple neighbors hired an Underwriter professional after the installation; the work was completely blessed.

It's true that Mike Tucker is cool to lightning rods. But, that doesn't ease my peace of mind!
