Keep retired residents safe from kitchen fires

Protects residents' investments

Airis is a proactive safety device, which means a significantly lower risk of fire as well as smoke damage. Residents can live independently and safely.

Genuine fire prevention

Older technology doesn't prevent fires; it waits for them. Airis protects residents from the risk of fire and toxic smoke inhalation.

Reduces management overhead

A decreased activation of fire alarm systems and smoke alarms results in a better deployment of resources.

Airis stove guard prevents fires intelligently

As we age, we can become forgetful, especially if we develop dementia. With Airis, residents can continue to cook for themselves without having to worry that they might accidentally leave their cooking unattended.

Airis provides peace of mind for residents and management personnel in the knowledge that smoke detectors, heat sensors and sprinkler systems won't be activated by cooking incidents.

Additionally, in Extra Care and Assisted Living, Airis can have a huge impact on a person's life.

Airis stove guard in retirement living accommodation
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.
