Nationwide expands Ting program

Nationwide will make Ting sensors and fire prevention services available for free to 500,000 additional homes over the next two years through its expanded program with Whisker Labs, the maker of Ting.

This expansion builds on more than three years of “proven prevention performance at scale,” with nearly 80,000 homes protected and more than 1,100 potential electrical fires prevented for Nationwide members.

Ting is a smart sensor that plugs into any outlet and begins detecting electrical signals associated with fire hazards. Using advanced AI, it detects small arcs and faults, which are early warning signs of electrical fire hazards that often go unnoticed. When a hazard is found, Ting’s Fire Safety Team works directly with the homeowner to resolve the problem, including coordination with licensed electricians and paying up to $1,000 toward repairs.

“Preventing devastating electrical fires changes everything for our members. By offering Ting as part of our Smart Protection Suite, we’re taking a proactive approach to fire prevention by helping members identify electrical hazards before they cause a fire and setting a new standard for home protection. For our agents Ting is a powerful, easy-to-use service offering that’s valued and trusted.” – Casey Kempton, President of Personal Lines at Nationwide.

“Nationwide continues to demonstrate incredible leadership in member safety. This expansion reflects a people-first approach to prevention that protects members, empowers agents, and sets a standard for what’s possible in the industry. The ability to predict and prevent electrical fires at this scale is truly monumental, not just for insurance, but for home safety more broadly. We’re proud of this deep collaboration with Nationwide as they make prevention part of everyday protection.” – Bob Marshall, CEO of Whisker Labs.
