Texas Lightning Protection Company
Established in 1987, Bolt Lightning Protection is well known for its excellent work in lightning protection installation for residential and commercial establishments. We offer design, inspection and installation of all types of lightning protection systems for residential, commercial, ranch, farms, churches, and more. We install lightning protection systems for both new construction and existing property.
We only hire the best talent, therefore you can be confident in our design and installation of lightning protection systems. According to Underwriters Laboratories, a properly designed and installed system greatly diminishes your risk of property damage caused by a lightning strike.
Lightning Protection Systems
We’re a family owned and operated business and have three generations of experience. We have offices in Texas and Oklahoma. Through the years we have delivered lightning protection systems nationwide including Texas (Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, statewide) and Oklahoma (Oklahoma City, Tulsa, statewide).
Lightning Protection Systems
From designing a lightning protection system for an existing structure or a building under construction, to repairing an existing system, we do it all. We provide lightning protection and surge protection systems to residential and commercial establishments such ranch, farms, church, trees, schools, hospitals, airports, factories, data centers and office buildings. Lightning rods are mounted at elevated places where lightning is most likely to strike. The lightning rods are attached to an aluminum or copper cable that’s connected to an underground conductive grid. Lightning protection systems must meet current requirements and be installed correctly to provide optimal protection.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Get a lightning protection system installed on your home by Bolt Lightning Protection. We can install a concealed, partially concealed or exposed lightning system on your roof to protect your home from lightning. When designed during construction all of the lightning protection system, except the rooftop terminals, can be concealed and run inside the structure. Decorative finials can also be used as air terminals, making the lightning protection an architectural accent. Fully concealed system can installed when constructing a new house. A partially concealed lightning protection system can be installed on an existing house depending upon how much access there is to run the cable. A fully exposed system has cables and lightning rods on the roof. The cables can be hidden behind the ridges and the down conductors can run behind the gutter sprouts for less visibility.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Lightning protection system can be installed on a new construction or existing commercial building. The lightning protection system consists of lightning rods that are interconnected at the roof level, down conductors tied to ground rods or ground loop, bonding all the incoming utilities together. A properly installed lightning protection system will safe-guard a commercial building structurally, protect property, electronic equipment and employees from the destructive forces of lightning. Having a lightning protection system will provide you with a peace of mind knowing that a potentially catastrophic situation has been proactively dealt with. Our many years of experience in the design and installation of lightning protection and grounding systems allows us to deliver high quality installations at an affordable price.

Lightning Protection Design
The primary purpose for a lightning protection system is to route that electrical energy from a lightning strike to a less destructive path to ground, rather than letting it travel through the building’s structure, electrical wiring, pipes where it would create a havoc. Lightning rods or air terminals are the topmost element of a lightning protection system where the initial contact between the lightning strike and system occurs. The lightning rods are strategically installed on the roof, chimneys or other elevated areas. Highly conductive copper and aluminum materials are used in a lightning protection system. This provides a low resistance path to safely ground lightning’s dangerous electricity. The lightning strike is intercepted and directed to ground without impacting the structure, occupants or contents of the property. A lightning protection system includes a network of air terminals, bonding conductors, and ground electrodes designed to provide a low impedance path to ground for potential strikes.

The dissipation of a lightning strike requires correct system design, installation in accordance with UL 96A, NFPA 780 and all listed components correctly installed and connected to earth. The installation must be designed to protect the entire structure not just a small portion or section of the structure.
The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum. Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection.
A well-designed, properly installed Lightning protection systems mitigates the fire hazard which lightning strikes pose to structures. A lightning protection system provides a low-impedance path for the lightning current to lessen the heating effect of current flowing through flammable structural materials. If lightning travels through porous and water-saturated materials, these materials may literally explode if their water content is flashed to steam by heat produced from the high current. This is why trees are often shattered by lightning strikes.
