Our services include lightning rod installation, complete lightning protection systems, grounding and bonding, surge protection, and concealed lightning protection systems for new construction.

Lightning Rod Installation in OCALA, FL

Florida’s frequent thunderstorms make lightning protection an important consideration for Ocala property owners.

A properly designed lightning protection system uses multiple components working together to provide a controlled path toward ground in the event of a lightning strike.

Depending on the structure, a system can include:

  • Lightning rods

  • Copper or aluminum conductor cable

  • Grounding electrodes

  • Bonding components

  • Connectors and fittings

  • Surge protection


Lightning protection is not simply a matter of placing several rods on a roof. Proper placement, conductor routing, grounding, bonding, material compatibility, and overall system design are all important.

StrikeForce Lightning Protection specializes in these systems.

StrikeForce installs lightning protection systems for homeowners throughout the Ocala area.

Each residential system is designed around the individual home. Roof peaks, ridges, dormers, chimneys, additions, attached garages, metal components, and other architectural features can influence the layout.

We work to provide comprehensive protection while keeping the finished installation as clean and professional looking as possible.

Copper systems are commonly used on residential properties, while aluminum materials may be required in certain areas because of roofing or metal compatibility considerations.

Ocala and Marion County contain many farms, horse properties, barns, workshops, detached garages, and other structures that may benefit from professional lightning protection.

Large properties can require a different approach than a typical residential installation.

For properties containing multiple structures, StrikeForce can evaluate the buildings individually and determine an appropriate lightning protection strategy.

Depending on the project, this may include protection for:

  • Residences

  • Horse barns

  • Agricultural buildings

  • Workshops

  • Detached garages

  • Storage structures

  • Offices

  • Other valuable structures


Each project is evaluated based on the actual property and installation requirements.

StrikeForce Lightning Protection provides commercial lightning protection services for businesses and property owners throughout the Ocala area.

We can install systems on many types of commercial and institutional structures and coordinate with owners, contractors, and construction professionals.

Whether the property is an existing structure or currently under construction, we can determine an appropriate lightning protection approach based on the building’s design and requirements.

Building a new home or facility in Ocala?

Consider incorporating lightning protection before construction is completed.

StrikeForce specializes in concealed lightning protection systems that allow significant portions of the conductor system to be installed inside the structure during construction.

This can produce a much cleaner finished appearance than waiting until after the building is complete.

Coordination is critical. Lightning protection should be discussed early enough that conductor routing and other components can be incorporated before walls, roofing, and finishes make those areas inaccessible.

We can work with homeowners, custom builders, general contractors, and other professionals throughout the project.

Lightning Protection and Surge ProtectionWhole-Structure Protection and Surge Protection

Structural lightning protection and electrical surge protection address different aspects of lightning-related risk.

Lightning rods, conductors, bonding, and grounding components help manage the tremendous electrical energy associated with a direct strike to the structure.

Surge protective devices can provide another layer of protection for the building’s electrical system and connected equipment.

StrikeForce can help property owners understand how these different protective measures work together.
 

StrikeForce Lightning Protection serves property owners throughout Ocala and surrounding Marion County communities.

Whether you need protection for a home, farm, barn, commercial property, or new construction project, we can evaluate your needs and provide a professional recommendation.
