Intelligent fire safety for keeping elderly people and the kitchen safe

Make your residents' stoves safer

Airis cuts the power to the hob in case of danger. That means no fires, and a lot less smoke.

Prolongs the person's independence

Airis allows forgetful and frail people to cook for themselves safely, bringing peace of mind to elderly people as well as their loved ones.

Avoids the unnecessary activation of smoke alarms

Airis gets there first. No more damaged pans, embarrassing near-misses or unnecessary calls to the fire brigade.

Airis stove guard is a fire safety device for the hob that protects elderly people

Cooking can be important for a person's dignity and sense of freedom and independence, but cooking is also the number one cause of house fires, and the elderly are at especially high risk.

It's easy to become distracted or fall asleep on the sofa while cooking and Airis ensures there is no danger from fire or smoke. Airis is a stove safety device which allows the person to remain confident when cooking and provides peace of mind to you and to other carers.

With Airis, an elderly person can stay happy and independent for as long as possible, because they can cook safely in the knowledge that they and their kitchen are safe from the risk of smoke and fires.

My mum lives alone since my Dad passed away a couple of years ago and I was worried about her cooking… Now she wouldn't be without it as over Christmas the phone rang and she forgot she was cooking. She said when she went back to the kitchen, cooking had stopped as the food she was frying started to burn and the Airis cut the power.
