What is a significant advantage of modern sprinkler systems?

A significant advantage of modern sprinkler systems is that they are cost-effective for homes and small buildings. This cost-effectiveness stems from advancements in technology and design that have made sprinkler systems more affordable and easier to install compared to older systems. Modern systems often utilize materials that reduce installation and maintenance costs while still providing effective fire protection. Additionally, the ability to customize sprinkler systems to suit the specific needs of smaller structures allows homeowners and small business owners to benefit from enhanced safety without incurring prohibitive expenses.

In contrast, the notion that these systems are only available for large businesses overlooks their increasing accessibility and affordability for smaller properties. The idea that specialized installation is required is not necessarily true as many modern systems are designed for easier installation, intended for a variety of building types. Lastly, while some traditional systems can be more expensive, modern sprinkler systems are often designed to be a more economical option, countering the view that they are generally more expensive than traditional systems.
