Verisure partners with Ting Labs to bring electrical fire prevention technology to Europe

GENEVA—Verisure has entered into an exclusive partnership with U.S.-based Ting Labs to bring electrical fire prevention technology to customers across Europe, expanding the company's home protection offerings beyond traditional security and fire detection services.

Under the agreement, Verisure will commercialize Ting's electrical fire prevention solution in Europe, marking Ting Labs' first expansion outside the U.S. The companies said the service will be integrated into Verisure's home alarm ecosystem and monitored through the company's Alarm Receiving Centres.

Ting's plug-in sensor analyzes electrical activity within a home to detect dangerous arcing, which can be an early indicator of electrical faults that may lead to a fire. According to the companies, the technology currently helps protect more than 1.4 million homes in the United States.

The partnership comes as electrical fires remain a significant safety concern across Europe. Verisure cited data indicating that electrical faults account for between 25% and 30% of domestic fires in Europe, with an estimated 273,000 fires of electrical origin occurring annually across the European Union.

The new service will complement Verisure's existing fire protection portfolio, which includes connected smoke alarms and AI-powered WiFi Vision technology.

“This exclusive partnership represents another step forward in our ambition to expand Verisure's protection beyond traditional security and safety solutions,” said Austin Lally, CEO of Verisure. “By combining Ting Labs' proven electrical fire prevention technology with Verisure's monitoring expertise, operational scale and customer relationships, we are creating a differentiated, subscription-based proposition that addresses an important and growing consumer need against the rising threat of domestic fires.”

Bob Marshall, co-founder and CEO of Ting Labs, said the partnership will enable the company to bring its technology to a new market while leveraging Verisure's customer base and service infrastructure.

Under a co-development and licensing model, Ting Labs will provide the underlying technology, firmware, cloud platform and fire safety tools, while Verisure will manufacture the sensor and manage sales, installation, monitoring and customer support.

The companies expect the new service to launch commercially in Europe in early 2027.
