## Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does an irrigation system cost? A typical residential irrigation system in the greater Billerica area costs between $3,000 and $8,000, depending on property size, number of zones, soil conditions, and system complexity. A small 4-zone system for a quarter-acre lot averages $3,000 to $4,500, while a larger 8 to 12 zone system for properties over half an acre typically runs $5,500 to $8,000. Smart controller upgrades add $200 to $500 but save 20-40% on water bills annually. EMI Irrigation provides free on-site estimates that include a custom system design, so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
- When should I winterize my sprinkler system? In Massachusetts, you should winterize your irrigation system before the first hard freeze, typically in late October or early November. Winterization involves using compressed air at 50 to 80 PSI to blow out all remaining water from underground pipes, valves, and backflow preventers. Without proper winterization, trapped water expands as it freezes, cracking PVC pipes and damaging valve diaphragms — repairs that typically cost $200 to $800 per zone. EMI Irrigation recommends scheduling your blow-out by mid-October to guarantee availability before freezing temperatures arrive.
- How often should sprinkler heads be replaced? Quality sprinkler heads typically last 10 to 15 years, but they should be inspected annually during your spring turn-on. Signs that a head needs replacement include uneven spray patterns, leaking around the base, failure to pop up fully, or visible cracks in the nozzle housing. Pop-up rotors tend to last longer than fixed spray heads because they have fewer moving parts exposed to debris. During every spring activation, EMI Irrigation tests each zone and flags any heads that are misfiring or damaged.
- Do you offer smart irrigation controllers? Yes, EMI Irrigation installs and programs WiFi-enabled smart controllers from leading brands that adjust watering schedules automatically based on local weather data, soil moisture, and seasonal changes. Most homeowners save 20 to 40 percent on water usage after upgrading from a traditional timer. Smart controllers let you monitor and adjust your system from your phone, receive alerts for issues like broken heads or flow anomalies, and pause watering during rain events.
