But would it have A/C power? If the home was destroyed would the
breakers trip? G

Homes in sprinker-land are often built on slabs, unlike our New England
homes. I'm just curious how these things work.


In those million-dollar babies I've seen several pictures on the TV news
of houses that burned but some of the outbuildings weren't touched and
vice versa.

Many systems have battery backup on the timers so they don't lose the
timer settings during an outage.

Don't suspect there's anything very exotic going on...
