Homes on the High Plains
Ulysses homes and church steeples sit on flat High Plains ground with long views and few taller neighbors. See residential lightning protection and church and steeple lightning protection.
Elevators and farm buildings
Grain elevators, bins, and metal barns are often the tallest things for miles. See farm lightning protection.
Irrigated farmsteads
Grant County is center-pivot country, and a farmstead often has the house, shop, bins, and well equipment on the same open site. We plan them together. See farm lightning protection.
Irrigation equipment and pump sites
Center pivots, well houses, and electric service at pump sites are spread across Grant County fields. Lightning near those sites is a familiar problem for irrigators. A building protection system covers structures like the shop, house, and bins; we can talk through which buildings on your place are the best candidates.
Gas field buildings
Ulysses sits in the Hugoton gas field, with metal field buildings and shops that need bonding and grounding. See commercial lightning protection.

FAQ
Ulysses lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve all of Grant County?
Yes. We serve Ulysses and Grant County. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect elevators and bins?
Yes. We put air terminals on the headhouse and the tallest points, then bond the bins and legs into the grounding.
Do you protect the farmhouse and barns together?
Yes. See farm lightning protection.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Ulysses?
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 Grant 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.
