Homes and churches on I-70
Colby sits on I-70 in northwest Kansas. Homes and church steeples stand on open prairie. See residential lightning protection and church and steeple lightning protection.
Elevators and commercial roofs
Grain elevators along the highway and rail corridor stand tall on flat ground, along with farm equipment dealers and shops with large metal roofs. See commercial lightning protection and farm lightning protection.
Schools and the community college
Colby Community College and the local schools have gyms and large roofs that need a layout that fits. See commercial lightning protection.
Shops and equipment yards
Many Thomas County farms have a large steel machine shed or shop next to the house. A metal building is not automatically protected; it still needs air terminals, bonding, and ground rods so a strike does not jump to wiring or equipment inside.
Thomas County farms
Wheat, corn, and cattle farmsteads around Rexford and Brewster put barns, bins, and shops in wide-open country. See farm lightning protection.

FAQ
Colby lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Rexford and Brewster?
Yes. We serve Colby and Thomas County. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a farm equipment shop?
Yes. See commercial lightning protection.
Should I check after hail?
Yes. See lightning protection inspection.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Colby?
The size and shape of the roof, how tall the building is, how many chimneys and roof peaks it has, and how many separate buildings you want covered drive most of the cost. Rocky or dry ground can add grounding work. We look at the property and give you a free written estimate before any work starts.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
No. Lightning goes where it goes; a protection system just controls what happens when it arrives. Air terminals on the roof catch the strike, and conductors and ground rods carry it to earth so it does less harm to the building.
Does lightning protection help with insurance?
Policies differ, so check with your agent before you count on a discount. What we can do is give you a written record of what was installed and where, which is useful for your insurer and for anyone who inspects the system later.
