Bamboo Insurance, a California-based InsurTech focused on simplifying property insurance, has launched a new fire prevention initiative in partnership with Whisker Labs.
The initiative involves providing eligible policyholders with the Ting fire prevention sensor and service at no cost. This move reflects the company’s continued focus on safeguarding families, homes, and pets through advanced technology.
The decision to roll out the Ting sensor stems from Bamboo Insurance’s commitment to improving household safety while proactively reducing risks associated with electrical fires.
The InsurTech aims to deepen customer trust and satisfaction by offering practical tools that go beyond traditional coverage.
Known for its flexible and tech-enabled property insurance, Bamboo Insurance continues to integrate preventative tools that simplify coverage and strengthen risk management.
Ting is a compact, plug-in sensor that monitors a home’s electrical system to detect hidden fire hazards. When a risk is identified, the system alerts homeowners and guides them through necessary repairs. It also provides real-time alerts for power outages and helps prevent frozen pipes.
In 2025, at least 5,000 policyholders will receive the sensor and three years of service free, including app access and up to $1,000 in repair credit. The offer excludes tenant-occupied properties and those with a Difference in Conditions endorsement.
Already used in over 1 million homes, Ting has prevented 80% of potential home fires and assisted more than 18,000 households. Bamboo Insurance’s adoption reflects a broader industry shift toward using smart technology to prevent losses and boost safety.
“Providing peace of mind is at the heart of everything we do,” Bamboo Insurance CEO John Chu said. “By offering Ting fire prevention at no cost to our policyholders, we’re taking proactive steps to help prevent home fires before they start. It’s not only a wise business decision, but more importantly, it is an investment the reinforces our commitment to customer safety.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Bamboo Insurance to bring Ting to even more homes,” Whisker Labs Co-Founder and CEO Bob Marshall said. “Our mission is clear: to proactively reduce the risk of home fires and deliver safety alerts that provide real value to homeowners. This partnership not only helps keep families safe but also strengthens the relationship between customers, their insurance providers, and agents by offering a preventative, technology-driven solution.”
