Electrical Contractor Fishers IN | Call Capitol Lightning Protection

Our electric inspection is a thorough check of your existing or newly installed lightning protection system. We examine all components—air terminals, conductor cables, and ground rods—for proper installation, secure connections, and any signs of corrosion or damage. This is especially important in Fishers, where outdoor outlet corrosion can be a concern, as it can compromise grounding paths. We ensure the entire system meets NFPA standards and is ready to safely channel a strike, giving you confidence in your property's protection.

Generator transfer switches are critical during storms, but a nearby lightning strike can induce powerful electrical surges. Our lightning protection systems are designed to intercept a direct strike and safely guide its immense energy into the ground, significantly reducing the risk of a surge damaging your transfer switch or other sensitive home electronics. For Fishers residents, this adds a crucial layer of defense, complementing surge protectors to help prevent generator faults and costly electrical repairs after a storm.

No, it does not. A common misconception is that lightning rods attract lightning. In reality, they provide a predetermined, safe path for the electrical current if a strike occurs. The system is designed to intercept a strike that is already headed for the structure and safely direct it into the ground, thereby preventing fire or structural damage. Our systems, installed to strict national standards, are passive and do not influence where lightning will strike.
