Florida takes more lightning strikes than any other state — over a million ground strikes every year. DFS installs complete lightning protection systems that carry a strike safely to ground instead of through your wiring, your appliances, or your attic. Dependable. Fast. Service.
A lightning bolt carries up to 300 million volts. Without a designed path to ground, it makes its own — through your home.
Lightning is a leading cause of house fires in Florida. A strike can ignite attic framing, insulation, or wiring inside your walls — often burning unseen before anyone notices.
Even a nearby strike sends damaging surges through your panel. TVs, computers, HVAC systems, and kitchen appliances can be destroyed in a fraction of a second.
Lightning claims routinely run into the tens of thousands of dollars — before you count the deductible, the downtime, and the things insurance can't replace.
Lightning protection isn't one device — it's a connected system that gives a strike a low-resistance path around everything you care about.
Strike-termination devices mounted at the roof's high points intercept the lightning before it hits the structure itself.
Heavy-duty conductor cable carries the strike current down the exterior of the home — away from wiring and framing.
Ground rods and bonding disperse the energy harmlessly into the earth, keeping it out of your electrical system.
Whole home surge protection at the panel stops residual surges from reaching your electronics and appliances.
