Why Ernakulam needs lightning protection
Ernakulam is named among Kerala's most lightning-prone districts in CUSAT research reported by Mongabay (2026), and it is our home district: the ELSAFE office is at Kakkanad. High-rise flats, IT parks and coastal villas each need a different design, and the salt air along the Kochi coast calls for copper conductors and stainless fixings.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a lightning arrester cost in Ernakulam?
Residential packages start at Rs 73,350 for a Teksai spherical-gap system with 20 m stated radius and go up to Rs 1,56,250 for the Alltec USA ESE package with 100 kA surge protection, strike counter and exothermic bonding (prices listed on keralalightningprotection.com, September 2026). Every price includes the arrester, mast, 25 m copper down conductor, two copper-bonded earth rods with compound and a three-phase surge arrester. The site survey confirms the exact figure.
How long does installation take?
A typical house is completed in one working day after the survey. Larger buildings, factories and campuses are quoted with a schedule after the design is agreed.
Which standards do you follow?
Design to IS/IEC 62305 and IS 2309, ESE terminals certified to NF C 17-102 and UNE 21186, arresters and earthing models tested by CPRI, and the whole system earthed to 10 ohms or less with a measured test report.
What does the 15-year warranty cover?
A 15-year replacement warranty on the lightning arrester itself. Earthing and surge devices carry their own manufacturer terms, which we put in writing with the quotation.
Do I still need a surge protector if I have a lightning arrester?
Yes. The rooftop arrester handles the direct strike; the surge protector in your distribution board handles the voltage spike that a nearby strike pushes through the wiring. Every package includes both.
