Share

Are you planning to get an automatic sprinkler system installed at your home? If yes, it will be really beneficial, as your lawn maintenance will become less tedious. The automatic sprinkler system helps to keep your lawn beautiful, hydrated, and healthy. It also saves you time and money.

Remember, a little research needs to be done when you plan to install automatic sprinkler systems at home. If you have never hired professionals to install a sprinkler system, you might not be aware of the questions that need to be asked. Don’t worry! To help you out, we are here with a few interrogations that you should make before finalizing a contract with the automatic sprinkler system installer.

What’s the warranty on the sprinkler system?

It is the most important question to ask. So, never forget to ask about the manufacturer’s warranty on your sprinkler system. The warranty will protect you if something goes wrong in the future. Inquire if the labor and materials are covered under warranty. Never go to unauthorized contractors, as they can give you void warranties that are of no use.

Does the installer have the license to provide the services?

Always ask the sprinkler installer this question. Don’t work with an unlicensed company. The license confirms that the installer can provide services and nothing will go wrong. It will ascertain that you are working with a professional only and thus can easily rely on them.

What kind of sensors will be installed in the system?

Nowadays, most sprinkler systems are smart, as they come with rain sensors installed. They are quite useful as they reduce water wastage to a great extent. When it rains, sensors sense it and turn off the sprinkler system. They let the rainwater be used to water the garden. When the rainwater dries, sensors again turn on the sprinklers. This way, an undesirable sprinkling of water diminishes. So, always interrogate about the sensors and opt for the automatic sprinkler system with sensors only.

What does the installation cost?

If you invest in something, you must know all the costs involved in the installation. This will prevent you from future surprises and ensure that everything is within your budget. So, don’t forget to ask about the cost involved in the installation.

For how many years has the installer been providing service in this field?

You will only love to work with someone experienced and knowledgeable of field irrigation and sprinkler systems. They can provide useful tips for maintaining the vegetation and sprinkler system. So, always work with a company with enough experience to provide the best services to you.
