About
Ting is a revolutionary product developed by Whisker Labs, a Maryland-based technology company. The mission of Ting is to prevent the most devastating fires, particularly those that stem from hidden electrical faults in homes. This is accomplished through their smart, DIY plug-in device that monitors electrical systems and can detect potential fire hazards before they result in disaster. The ethos behind the creation of Ting stems from a personal tragedy experienced by the founder, Bob Marshall, whose family suffered a horrific loss due to electrical fire hazards. This event ignited a passion to protect families from similar fates. With advanced sensor technology, Ting continuously watches over the home and notifies users of any signs of danger. This proactive approach is designed to provide peace of mind for homeowners. Ting not only alerts users to potential fire risks but also provides a seamless coordination service to help mitigate hazards. Each Ting sensor has been rigorously tested, receiving crucial safety certifications which ensure reliability and efficiency. As a pioneer in the field of electrical fire prevention, Ting aims to create a safer living environment for all by using data and sensor science to detect and prevent risks that are otherwise hidden from view.
