Logan labor market for sprinkler system
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Logan is 0.96 times the national level.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 40%) the local median is $29.03 an hour, which is 5% below the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $22.30 and $35.92 an hour. BLS counts 170 of them working in the area, 25.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 40% of the weighting: a median of $22.19 an hour, in line with the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.88 and $26.60 an hour. About 650 work in the metro. That is 97.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073, weighted 20%) the local median is $27.39 an hour, which is 5% below the national $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $23.37 and $29.46 an hour. BLS counts 180 of them working in the area, 26.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.7), so the local bench is about average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($35.92 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $330. At the 25th percentile ($22.30) it shrinks by about $320. The total moves by 4.9% or 4.7%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 66,800 jobs in the Logan area. That makes it the 271st largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.04% of US employment.

Climate in Logan: timing your sprinkler system job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Logan Radio Kvnu (in the city). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
April through October is the stretch where digging, grading and setting material in the ground runs into the fewest weather problems in Logan (7 of 12 months). January, February, March, November and December have an average overnight low at or below freezing (32°F).
In January, February, March, November and December the average low is at or below freezing, which means frozen ground and slower digging, compaction and sod or stone placement. NOAA counts about 166 days a year with a low at or below 32°F at this station.
Logan gets about 17 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 44 inches of snow. The wettest months are March, April and May (2.0 inches in May). Inside the workable window, July and August are the driest, at 0.5 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 35 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
