Whisker Labs rebrands as Ting Labs

Whisker Labs, the company behind the Ting electrical fire prevention sensor, has changed its name to Ting Labs .

The company said the new identity reflects the recognition of the Ting brand, which is used in more than one million homes and offered at no cost through over 40 insurance carriers.

Ting monitors a home’s electrical system to detect hazards before they cause fires. The company says the technology has helped prevent more than 30,000 potentially devastating fire hazards.

Ting Labs has also expanded the platform to detect dangerous electrical grid faults, provide power outage insights and help prevent frozen pipes.

Earlier this year, the company announced a partnership with Nationwide to distribute 500,000 Ting sensors over two years.

“For years, people have known us simply as Ting. Becoming Ting Labs reflects the years of innovation, partnership, and real-world impact that have made Ting the foundation of everything we do. As Ting continues to evolve, so does our ambition: to make electrical fire prevention a standard in every home while building a safer, more resilient electrical grid that powers our lives.” – Bob Marshall, co-founder and CEO.
