Consider the U.S. insurance industry and their desire/need to refuse payouts when possible. If a fire occurs and the location contravenes just about any code their staff can find, they will likely refuse payout and it will be time for you to lawyer up. So, in that case, the expense of that special room might be seen as a bargain in the long run.
- kelnos 2y agoSure, I don't disagree with that, but someone looking to do an installation might just decide not to do it at all, seeing the cost of the protection setup. That may or may not be rational, but I could easily see that happening. Sticker shock is a thing, and solar+battery installs are already plenty pricey, even with the cost renaissance we've been seing. GP/sibling says it added on another 5-10% for them, though, so that's not too bad, though I guess it was a DIY job, and would have cost more to pay someone else to do it.
