Fire Sprinkler Installation

Fire sprinkler installation in Chicago area

If you’re considering a fire sprinkler system installation at your home or business, Shamrock Fire Protection's experts can assist you in getting the facts on the type of system you need and how it will benefit you.

Our over 10 years of experience in the Chicago area make us an industry leader in designing, building, and installing a variety of different fire protection systems.

Why should you install a system? It’s a valid question and here are some answers:
  • Your smoke alarms are a necessary component in fire protection, but they can’t extinguish a fire. The right fire sprinkler system can put out fires as residents or employees are evacuating.
  • Sprinklers are triggered by heat, not smoke, which means you don’t have to worry about an unnecessary downpour after you’ve just snuffed out a candle or if dinner got slightly charred on the stovetop.
  • The average home fire sprinkler system only slightly increases the cost per square foot of new construction.
  • Sprinklers activate faster than the fastest firemen can get to your home or business, unravel their hoses, hook them up to a hydrant and douse the flames. In fact, most fire sprinkler systems will activate between 30 and 60 seconds of a fire outbreak.
  • Depending on your insurance provider, installing fire sprinklers could reduce your insurance premiums.

If you’ve avoided installing a fire sprinkler system because you believe every sprinkler will activate when you put out a candle, understand that this is only a myth.

The fact is – sprinkler systems installed by Shamrock Fire Protection company will only activate in the areas of the home or business where fire is present. In most cases when a sprinkler system is activated, only one of the sprinkler heads is required to knock down the fire threat.

Consider these facts as you weigh the options of installing a fire protection system:
  • The risk of fire-related death is reduced by around 80 percent in homes where a fire sprinkler system has been installed.
  • Property losses in homes with sprinklers are cut by around 70 percent in homes with sprinkler systems.
