American National Adds Ting Sensor Program to Help Prevent Fires from Electrical Hazards
February 08 2022 - 10:00AM
American National has announced a new Internet of Things (IoT)
property loss prevention service provided by Ting. This service
utilizes a sensor and connected technologies to monitor for
electrical fire hazards, such as arcing, that is typically caused
from damaged or deteriorated wire insulators or loose electrical
connections. The sensor service is being offered as a part of an
endorsement to the Special Farm Package 10 upon renewal. Ting is a
total home intelligence electrical fire protection monitoring
plug-in device and service that will be available to our farm and
ranch clients in 2022. American National is a leader in the
industry by being the first to use this approach to align sensor
technology with client loss prevention within an insurance product.
“We’re excited to partner with HSB, along with Whisker Labs,
maker of Ting,” said Tracy Hamel, Vice President, P&C Product
Management for American National. “Fires are devastating. The use
of technology to help reduce the risk of electrical fire is
innovative and offering it as part of an endorsement to a policy is
truly groundbreaking. It is the future of the industry. Providing
security to our clients has always been a mission of American
National and this continues that legacy.”
Using a sensor that plugs into the wall and Wi-Fi, Ting monitors
the electrical network in real-time and issues text and phone
alerts to homeowners if an electrical hazard is detected. American
National offers a Ting service credit of up to $1,000 to cover cost
of repairs if an electrical hazard is detected and an electrician
repairs the hazard. In addition, a credit will be applied to
premiums to help offset the cost of the Ting service.About
