National survey says homeowners more likely to buy home with fire sprinklers
74% of U.S. homeowners say they would be more likely to buy a home with fire sprinklers
In a national Harris Poll survey conducted on behalf of the nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition, 74% of U.S. homeowners say they would be more likely to buy a home with fire sprinklers than one without. Seven in 10 say a sprinklered house has more value and nearly 8 in 10 (78%) say fire sprinklers provide the ultimate protection for residents.
The research, underwritten by a federal Fire & Prevention Safety grant, demonstrates several areas of improved awareness of fire sprinkler life-safety benefits. It also underscores the importance of ongoing education and outreach to overcome common myths and misconceptions about home fire sprinklers.
