If you can't afford an extra 8k when you're building a new home, you shouldn't be building that house.
And how often do these things accidentally go off? I doubt very often.
Yeah, way to go big brother trying to protect our lives and property!

This is a new policy in WV as well.
They will not go off like smoke alarms, there is a very high heat tolerance on these and they have to be intentionally spoofed to make them go off.
It won't help in home premiums, maybe $25 a year compared to if you have a FD close or not. On my insurance it would make no difference since my FD has a sub 5 minute response time and I have a fire hydrant within 100ft of my house.
