Newton has older homes near downtown and many church steeples, and North Newton has Bethel College. Hesston College is just north. See residential lightning protection and church and steeple lightning protection.
Rail town elevators and shops
Newton grew as a railroad town and still has a busy rail corridor with grain elevators and commercial roofs on the edge of town. See commercial lightning protection and farm lightning protection.
Harvey County farms
Mennonite settlers brought Turkey Red wheat to this part of Kansas, and wheat and cattle farmsteads around Hesston and Halstead still put barns and bins on open ground. See farm lightning protection.
South-central storms
Harvey County knows severe weather; Hesston was hit by a strong tornado in 1990. Frequent thunderstorms and hail make storm checks worthwhile. See lightning protection inspection.

FAQ
Newton lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Hesston, Halstead, and North Newton?
Yes. We serve Newton and Harvey County. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect elevators?
Yes. We put air terminals on the headhouse and the tallest points, then bond the bins and legs into the grounding.
Should I check after hail?
Yes. See lightning protection inspection.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Newton?
Every system is priced for the building, so we don't quote a flat number. The main factors are roof size and height, the number of chimneys, dormers, and ridges, the roof material, how many buildings need protection, and the soil where the ground rods go. We give a free written estimate for Harvey County properties after looking at the site.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
No. A lightning rod does not draw lightning to a building. It gives a strike that was already going to hit the structure a planned, low-resistance path along conductors to ground, so the current is less likely to pass through framing, wiring, or plumbing.
Does lightning protection help with insurance?
It is worth asking your agent. Some insurers take lightning protection into account on homes, barns, and churches, but policies differ. We can give you a written description of the system we installed for your records.
