In a bid to enhance safety and security for homeowners, Westfield, a property and casualty company based in the US, has introduced a new program called Ting. Ting utilizes advanced smart plug-in sensors to monitor a home’s electrical network, detect hazards, alert homeowners and guide them through necessary repairs to prevent fires.
Westfield is partnering with Whisker Labs to offer the Ting sensor and three years of fire prevention services for free to its customers. This initiative is part of Westfield’s commitment to providing peace of mind to homeowners and preventing potential disasters like home fires.
Ting is designed as a smart home technology that gives homeowners advanced warnings of potential fire hazards, detect electrical faults in the utility grid, and predict issues that could lead to water damage. This proactive approach aims to mitigate risks and prevent catastrophic losses.
Westfield plans to provide the fire hazard sensor and services to 10,000 homeowners at no cost this year, with intentions to expand the program to an additional 20,000+ homeowners over the next three years. With a 176-year history of offering insurance products and solutions that protect customers and communities, Westfield is continuing its mission by embracing new technology like Ting.
