How does Ting work?
>> back to top
Ting monitors a home’s electrical system for arcing and power quality issues that indicate an electrical fire hazard. It is designed to be a long-term monitoring solution, as electrical fire hazards can happen anytime, anywhere, regardless of a home’s age or condition.
We are super passionate about helping to protect you. Ting is statistically proven to prevent ~80% of electrical fires, significantly reducing electrical fire risk in your home.
What should I expect next?
>> back to top
In the next 1-3 days, your sensor will ship. At that time, we’ll provide you with a notification via email with tracking details.
What do I need for Ting to work in my home?
>> back to top
Ting is sophisticated technology but incredibly simple to use. You'll need a smartphone and Wi-Fi to install your Ting Sensor. That’s it!
What should I do when my sensor arrives?
>> back to top
You’ll need as little as 2 minutes to activate your free service. Just reference the insert included with your Ting Sensor and download the mobile app to get started. Once the simple setup is completed, the app will keep you informed of important events, service notices, and most importantly, if Ting detects a fire hazard.
Is there a time limit to activate my Ting service?
>> back to top
Most customers activate the service within the first day or two. Participation in your insurance company's program requires service activation within ten days of receipt. We know circumstances arise where this is not always possible, so please reach out if your installation timeline needs to be adjusted. We’re always happy to help.
What happens if Ting detects a hazard?
>> back to top
If an electrical fire hazard is detected, you’ll be in the hands of our world-class Ting Fire Safety Team, who will guide you through every step of hazard mitigation. You’ll receive notification of the hazard via the Ting Sensor app and outreach via email, phone, and/or text.
Your safety is our priority, so in the case of an identified hazard, you’ll receive a $1,000 credit toward the labor cost of professional remediation. Importantly, not all hazards require an electrician.
How does Ting keep my data safe and private?
>> back to top
By design, we limit the collection and use of personal information to only that which is necessary to reliably deliver Ting service to you. Unlike other smart home devices, there are no control features or options in your Ting app that can be used to configure, change, turn off/on, or otherwise govern your Ting sensor. The Ting sensor does not have microphones, cameras, motion detectors, or speakers. Ting quietly focuses on what matters most – analyzing your home’s electrical health through complex signal processing.
Once the Ting installation process is complete, there is zero communication between the Ting sensor and your Ting Sensor app or smartphone. You can turn off your Bluetooth and Location Services on your phone, which are only needed by the Ting Sensor app to help set up your sensor.
We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy, where we provide additional details for you.
