Selective adds Ting fire prevention tech to homeowners’ offering

Selective is now offering Whisker Labs’ Ting fire prevention technology to eligible homeowners’ policyholders as part of its value-added services.

The Ting device plugs into a wall outlet and monitors electrical activity to detect hazards that could lead to fires, alerting homeowners and guiding them through necessary repairs.

The service is available at no cost to policyholders in 13 states, including New Jersey, Ohio, and Arizona.

With this move, Selective joins other insurers using Ting to help reduce fire risk and enhance safety. According to Whisker Labs, Ting has already been installed in over one million homes and prevented more than 16,000 potential fires.
