Lightening rods and surge protection are two different animals.

Lightening rods work by bleeding off the excess negative charge that

builds up on taller objects during an electrical storm.

Lightening rods do not attract or repel lightening strikes.

Their only function is to bleed off the excess negative charge

and make the building less of a target for a strike.

Surge protectors work by shunting the surge current to ground.

If you live in a lightening prone area I would recommend both.
