Frequently Asked Questions
Wildfire Protection Systems
Protecting Homes, Condos & Critical Infrastructure
For Homeowners
Q: How does your wildfire sprinkler system protect my home?
A: Our system automatically wets your roof, decks, siding, landscaping, and defensible space to prevent embers and heat from igniting your home. It's like having a smart firefighter on your roof before the fire arrives.
Q: Is this system only for high-end homes?
A: No. We serve all homeowners in wildfire zones—from cabins to custom homes. Our pricing starts at $5.50 per square foot, making proactive protection accessible and affordable.
Q: Does it qualify for insurance discounts?
A: Yes, in some cases. Many insurers now require wildfire mitigation to renew coverage. Our system provides documented protection that may qualify you for discounts, preferred carriers, or reduced deductibles, Colorado recently enacted a bill that may help..
Q: Do you install defensible space upgrades too?
A: Yes. We offer complete wildfire hardening packages: gutter guards, ember-resistant vents, vegetation clearing, deck mesh, and non-combustible borders—often bundled with the sprinkler system.
Q: Will the system work during an evacuation or power outage?
A: Yes. All systems include battery backup and cellular communication so they can operate off-grid during fire events.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: Most homes are completed in 2–3 days after design approval. Larger or multi-structure properties may take longer.
Q: What does it cost?
A: Most homes cost between $21,500–$35,000, depending on size and layout, water source, pumps and storage tanks may be needed. We’ll provide a precise quote during your free assessment.
Q: Can I control it remotely?
A: Yes. Our smart controller can be monitored and activated via mobile app, web dashboard, or automatic triggers (e.g., thermal detection, fire map proximity).
For Condominiums & HOAs
Q: Can this system protect multi-unit buildings?
A: Yes. We custom-design exterior sprinkler systems for condominiums, townhomes, and apartment buildings, protecting rooftops, eaves, shared decks, and vulnerable landscaping.
Q: Will this help us secure insurance or lower premiums?
A: Often, yes. Many insurers require wildfire mitigation plans. We provide documentation and risk assessments to support underwriting and may help reduce deductibles or make you eligible for better coverage.
Q: Can we apply for grants?
A: Absolutely. HOAs may qualify for FEMA BRIC grants, state wildfire resilience funding, or utility-based incentives like those from Xcel Energy. We assist with paperwork and compliance.
Q: Who pays for it in an HOA setting?
A: Systems are typically funded through reserves, special assessments, or grants. We can help your board prepare a proposal for residents.

A: Our system uses data from thermal cameras, satellite fire maps, and weather alerts. It can turn on automatically or be triggered manually from a secure cloud dashboard.
Q: How long does it run during an event?
A: Runtime is adjustable. Most systems operate between 2–8 hours per cycle, depending on risk level and fire proximity.
Q: Will it work during a power outage?
