In Massachusetts, the cost of installing a residential fire sprinkler system typically ranges from $4 to $14 per square foot. This varies based on the system type and complexity. For example, a standard CPVC wet system costs between $4–$6 per square foot, while retrofitting with copper or steel can range from $7–$10 per square foot. High-end custom systems may cost $11–$14 per square foot. Staying informed about these costs is crucial for contractors to provide accurate estimates and maintain profitability.
With building codes increasingly recommending automatic fire sprinklers, understanding the benefits and requirements is essential for contractors. Sprinklers not only enhance safety but also reduce insurance premiums.
