Packing up to 100 million volts of electricity, a bolt of lightning has the power to tear through buildings, explode walls made of brick and concrete, disturb steel and ignite deadly fires. The cost of this damage can be enormous. Learn more about protecting your home or commercial property from this damaging force of nature.
Lightning Protection for your Home
In South Florida, each square mile is struck by about 25 bolts of lightning a year. Why weather the storm and take your chances? Protect your home, family and office from the deadly force of lightning. Today's homes are especially vulnerable to lightning damage. Lightning-attractive metal building components, irrigation and security systems, invisible and electric fences and sensitive electronic equipment are all factors that can increase a homeowner's potential for lightning damage. There is no reason for homeowner's to take chances with lightning, as today's lightning protection systems are inconspicuous and are designed and installed to provide protection without compromising the aesthetics of your home. In fact, Bonded Lightning sells and installs a variety of decorative finials that are custom crafted from start to finish.

We offer two types of lightning protection systems for residential structures.
System 2000 - Conventional Lightning Protection System
These are the primary components of a lightning protection system which work together to prevent lightning damage to your structure:
- Air terminals (rods)
- Conductor (cable)
- Bonds to metallic bodies
- Ground terminations
- Surge arresters
Interceptor System 3000 - Alternative or Enhanced Lightning Protection System
The ERITECH Interceptor System 3000 is offered as an alternative to a conventional lightning protection system (System 2000). The unique features of this system allow optimum performance, flexibility of design, as well as overall cost effective installation.
This system is specifically designed for residential projects and structures below 65 feet in height. The Interceptor provides a preferred point for lightning discharges which would otherwise strike and damage an unprotected structure and/or its contents. The ERITECH Interceptor is optimally connected to a down-conductor and low impedance grounding system in such a way as to provide a totally integrated system.
The Interceptor System 3000 features the following:
- A simple non-radioactive air termination with enhanced protective radius.
- Active design which employs energy from a surrounding e-field to actively launch an upleader at the critical time.
- Economical, simple installation and minimal maintenance.
Don't Forget the Surge Protection!
A professional lightning protection system protects your structure, but what about the electronic equipment in your home? Harmful electrical surges can enter your home through power lines, communication lines and other utility lines. Our qualified lightning protection specialists can make recommendations and install surge protection that is tailored to meet your individual needs and protect all your valuable electronic equipment.
