ABC’s of Lightning Protection

  • Always engage an expert firm with proven knowledge, experience.

When selecting a firm for Lightning Protection, it’s important to choose one with a proven track record of knowledge, honesty, and integrity. Certifications from manufacturers or trade associations are not necessarily proof of a contractor’s qualifications, but Harger factory-trained installers have received classroom training and have extensive experience and certifications for their work. Harger has over 50 years of experience in designing and certifying lightning protection systems across the country.

  • Be sure your system has an Underwriters Laboratories Master Label Certificate.

When installing a lightning protection system, it’s important to ensure that the contractor can provide a Master Label Certificate from Underwriters Laboratories (UL). UL is a trusted inspection organization dedicated to public safety and has over 100 years of experience in testing and inspecting lightning protection systems. The Master Label Service involves factory testing and inspection of components and field inspection of completed systems. To verify that your lightning protection system has been issued a UL Master Label Certificate of Inspection, you can log on to www.ul.com/lightning.

  • Compare quality before you buy.

When purchasing a lightning protection system, it’s important to avoid basing the decision solely on price or purchasing from untrained sellers. To ensure a safe and quality system, it’s recommended to ask for a design drawing and a list of materials included in the contract price and compare these between proposals. It’s important to choose a well-engineered, high-quality system and avoid cheaper, low-quality options. Harger produces only high-quality components that are factory tested and inspected by Underwriters Laboratories and are identified by the UL Listed marking and control number 50H2.
