How Is the Cost of a Fire Sprinkler Calculated?

Every property has different fire protection needs. That’s why the cost of your fire sprinklers system will largely depend on your current project. The main price difference depends on whether you’re retrofitting or building a new construction.

The type and size of the building will also help determine how much it will cost for your fire sprinkler system.

Why Are Commercial Fire Sprinkler Systems Important?

One of the most important aspects of owning a business in Michigan is having adequate means to control a potential fire. A sprinkler system can significantly dampen or fully extinguish the flames, which can help limit the damage. A fire sprinkler system also adds another form of protection for your valuables.

However, the most important part of a fire sprinkler system is its ability to save lives. It’s a high-powered way to remove or weaken the flames. This allows people stuck in the building to remain in place safely until emergency personnel arrive or a path for them to exit the building.

Other Factors To Consider That Impact Cost

There are a series of factors that can change the cost of your system other than size and building type. For fire sprinkler systems, these include:

  • Material used: Fire sprinkler systems can have pipes from a variety of materials, which will go a long way in deciding the cost of your system.
  • Sprinkler features: Aside from the basic water element, bonus features can be installed at a higher cost for your fire sprinkler system.
  • Design: Your chosen system design will impact your final price.
  • Life span costs: With automatic fire sprinkler systems, you can likely get a discount on your insurance, which would be factored into your final price.
  • Number of sprinkler heads: As the number of sprinkler heads for your project grows, the costs will likely increase accordingly.
  • Piping system: With a fire sprinkler system, you can share the preexisting plumbing or install new plumbing for the sprinkler water, which will sway your costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Sprinklers

At Fire Pros, we strive to provide our customers with the best information possible about our products and services. Here are answers to some of the most frequent questions we receive about fire sprinkler systems:

Absolutely! When combining all the damage risks you have without a fire sprinkler and the insurance issues that come with no system, it would be wise to invest in a system.

There will be water damage if the sprinklers are activated. However, the water damage will be far less compared to fire damage and will cost less to repair than damages from a fire.

It’s unlikely that this will happen. Most systems use technology that allows the sprinkler head to respond to heat or flames in their area, confining the water to just the affected area.

No, smoke or odors won’t accidentally activate the sprinklers. The sprinkler heads respond only to heat, and the activation temperature can be adjusted by installing different sprinkler heads according to the environment they will operate in and the hazards expected.
