A Full Suite of Sprinkler System Options
Firetech Sprinkler Corp. offers fire sprinkler installation for residential and commercial buildings in Rutland, St. Albans, Plattsburgh, and more, with multiple system options to fit your industry and construction.
-
Wet-pipe systems: Traditional systems store pressurized water in pipes for immediate release upon heat detection.
-
Dry-pipe systems: These systems fill pipes with air or nitrogen rather than water, making them necessary in cold climates where pipes could freeze.
-
Pre-action systems: These advanced forms of dry-pipe systems require two steps to activate before water is released, allowing facilities to protect against water damage by shutting the system off during false alarms.
-
Foam suppression systems: These systems dispense foam rather than water. They’re used in situations where water would do more harm than good, such as data centers or airplane hangars.
-
Deluge systems: Often used where highly flammable items cause fire to spread more quickly, deluge systems have always-open sprinkler heads and are triggered by external heat or smoke sensors to flood the whole designated area.
We even offer fire pumps and specialized mist systems in new construction and renovation projects. We make sure to winterize your fire sprinklers so they can handle freezing temperatures. We’re proud to employ technicians with the skill to handle projects with unique requirements, from historic buildings to airplane hangars. Adding protection to a building that is already standing?

Fire Sprinkler System Installation FAQs
How long does it take to have a fire sprinkler system installed?
When having fire safety products installed, the length of time needed will vary. The time needed to properly install a fire sprinkler system will depend on several factors, including the size of the system, the type of system being installed, and specific components needed or included in the design, for example.
How does a fire sprinkler system work?
A fire sprinkler system works in various ways, depending on the type of system. Generally, when there’s a fire in the building, the sprinkler system will detect the heat and activate the sprinklers.
The water or other fire suppression medium will then flow out of the sprinkler heads, working to extinguish the fire. The number of sprinkler heads activated will depend on their placement and how the system is designed, which differs according to the specific state regulations and local codes.
Start the process of protecting your property in Vermont, New York, or New Hampshire with the latest sprinkler system technology.
What is NFPA 13D?
NFPA 13D is a standard published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) specifically for the installation of fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes.
How much does fire sprinkler installation cost?
The cost of a fire sprinkler system depends on the size and layout of the building, the type of system, the water supply, and whether you are building new or adding sprinklers to an existing structure. Systems that need freeze protection or extra equipment, such as a fire pump, also change the price. Firetech Sprinkler Corp. reviews your building and provides a quote. Contact us to get started.
Are fire sprinklers required in commercial buildings?
Requirements depend on the building’s size, use, and occupancy, along with the state and local codes where it is located. Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire each have their own rules, and some towns add requirements of their own. Our team reviews the code requirements for your project and designs a system to meet them. Our sprinkler design services can help you plan.
Can fire sprinklers be installed in an existing building?
Yes. Sprinkler systems can be added to existing homes, offices, and historic buildings. The work is planned around your layout and how the space is used. Learn more about sprinkler retrofitting.
Do all the sprinklers go off at once when there is a fire?
No. In most systems, each sprinkler head activates on its own when the air around it gets hot enough, so only the sprinklers closest to the fire release water. Deluge systems are the exception, since their heads are always open and the whole designated area is flooded.
What is the difference between wet-pipe and dry-pipe sprinkler systems?
Wet-pipe systems hold pressurized water in the pipes so it can flow right away. Dry-pipe systems hold air or nitrogen in the pipes and release water only after a sprinkler activates. Dry-pipe systems are used in unheated spaces such as garages, attics, and loading docks, where water in the pipes could freeze during Northeast winters.
Does a new sprinkler system need ongoing inspections?
Yes. Sprinkler systems need regular care to stay ready. Firetech offers inspection and testing along with maintenance, and we also handle backflow preventers that protect the water supply.
