Sparks Electrical Solutions performs lightning protection system inspections referencing NFPA 780 (LPS systems) and NEC Article 250 (service grounding).

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a lightning protection system be inspected?
NFPA 780 recommends a visual inspection annually and a full inspection (including resistance testing) every 3–5 years — or immediately after a known strike or major weather event.
My house was struck by lightning — do I need an inspection?
Yes, absolutely. Even if there's no visible damage, the strike may have degraded ground bonds, damaged surge protection devices, or compromised wiring. Most insurance carriers require a licensed electrician's inspection before paying a strike-related claim.
How much does an inspection cost?
Most residential inspections run $250–$450 depending on system size and location. Farm and commercial inspections are quoted by project.
