Red Rocks Lightning Protection | Expert Electrical Repair in Littleton, CO

Our systems are designed to intercept a lightning strike and safely conduct its massive electrical energy directly to the ground via down conductors and grounding rods. This prevents that energy from entering your home's electrical system in the first place. By giving lightning a dedicated, preferred path, we protect your internal wiring, appliances, and electronics from the devastating voltage surges that can occur during a strike, which is a common issue for Littleton homes during our storm seasons.

Our inspection is a thorough visual and technical assessment of your existing or proposed system. We check for proper bonding to your home's grounding electrode system, examine all air terminals (rods) and down conductors for secure connections and corrosion, verify that grounding rods meet depth and resistance requirements, and ensure the entire installation conforms to NFPA 780 standards. This inspection helps identify any vulnerabilities that could compromise your home's protection.

While the primary function is to divert a direct strike, a properly installed system also mitigates secondary effects. In Littleton's climate, moisture can enter compromised conduits and freeze, damaging wires. A key part of our installation is ensuring all system components, including where conduits enter the home, are properly sealed and bonded. This reduces the risk of moisture intrusion that can lead to frozen wiring, addressing a common local problem as part of a comprehensive protection strategy.
