Pretty cool new home fire prevention tool from Whisker Labs –
Ting is a modern, proven DIY smart sensor and safety service to help prevent electrical fires. No technology can prevent all fires, but Ting been proven to help prevent 4 out of 5 electrical fires.
Ting smartly detects the most common precursors to electrical fires across your home before these conditions have a chance to evolve into a fire.
A sophisticated yet simple plug-in sensor covers the entire home, and a simple smartphone app keeps you in the know. Ting identifies unique electromagnetic pulses from tiny arcing. Arcing occurs from loose connections and damaged insulators in home wiring and in appliances/devices.  Left alone this arcing naturally grows in amplitude and increasing risk of an electrical fire.
But not all electrical fire hazards stem from conditions inside the home:
Ting also identifies dangerous power conditions from your electrical utility provider. These can cause shock hazards, appliance damage/failure – and worse, a fire – all inside your home. As a concierge smart home service, Ting provides peace of mind with 24×7 monitoring, a world-class Fire Safety Team that contacts you if/when a fire hazard is identified (and coordinates the process end to end to ensure it is remediated), and a responsive Customer Care Team to address any questions or requests you might have.
The sensor comes with a lifetime replacement warranty, and the service includes a lifetime credit of $1,000 applicable to qualified repair labor should a Ting-identified hazard require an electrician. With over 800,000 homes protected and hundreds of homeowners joining the Ting community each day,
Ting has documented over 13,000 home ‘saves’. When Ting identifies a fire hazard, you can have the confidence that it is real, and that our experts will be there to ensure the hazard is remediated and your family and home remain protected.
