A note on these figures. They are drawn from US and international sources because that is where this data is collected and published reliably; Lebanon does not have an equivalent national dataset. The physics of a fire and the reasoning of someone deciding which building to try do not change at a border, but treat the numbers as the shape of the risk rather than a forecast for your street. Nothing here is a guarantee about your property.
Detection is the cheapest part
and it is the part that matters.
A smoke detector is one of the few things you can buy where the evidence is this unambiguous. The failure mode is almost never the technology — it is a missing detector, a dead battery, or nobody in the building to hear it.
Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire roughly in half.
People die every year in the United States from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning that had nothing to do with a fire.
Emergency department visits a year for accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in the United States, with more than 14,000 admitted to hospital.
Average insurance payout on a fire or lightning claim — the most expensive category of home claim there is.
What a connected system adds to a standalone detector
A battery detector in an empty flat is a noise nobody hears. Wired into the system, the same detection reaches your phone wherever you are, turns on the lights along the way out, and can stop the ventilation from feeding the room. It also tells you when a battery is low rather than waiting to chirp at 3am.
Most break-ins are a decision,
and the decision is made outside.
The research on offender behaviour is consistent on one point: someone chooses a property before they touch it, and the thing they are reading is whether anyone is in. A system that makes an empty flat look occupied is working on exactly that judgement.
Share of reported residential burglaries in the United States that happen in daylight — when a house simply looks empty. Lighting alone does nothing against those; looking occupied does.
Number of visible security measures — locks, lights, cameras, alarm — at which offenders become markedly less likely to attempt entry. One device on its own is much weaker than a combination.
The single strongest signal in the research is whether a property looks lived-in: lights on, movement, sound. That is something a smart system can produce whether you are home or not.
Average theft claim. The loss is rarely just the objects — it is the door, the window and the weeks afterwards.
What we actually configure for this
Lighting that varies through the evening rather than switching on at 19:00 every day. Shutters that move. A camera at the approach that records before someone reaches the door, not after. An alarm zoned so the perimeter can be armed while people are inside. And an alert that reaches you with the clip attached, so you can tell a delivery from a problem in two seconds instead of driving home.
The most common claim is not fire
and it is not theft.
It is water. A burst hose behind a washing machine, a boiler that fails while you are away, a tank that overflows. It is slow, quiet, and by the time anyone notices it has been running for hours.
Share of all US home insurance claims caused by water damage and freezing — more than any other cause, including fire and theft.
Average water damage claim. A leak detector and a motorised valve cost a small fraction of that.
A leak sensor is a ten-dollar part
Under the sink, behind the washing machine, at the boiler and beside the tank. Paired with a motorised valve, a detection closes the supply in seconds and sends you a message. It is the highest-return device in the whole catalogue and the one people forget to ask for.
Heating and cooling is roughly
half the bill. Start there.
The savings in the published figures do not come from a clever device. They come from settings that hold — a schedule nobody overrides, a room that stands down when it is empty, a water heater that stops running all night.
Typical yearly saving from a programmable thermostat that is set properly and then left alone — the savings come from the settings holding, not from the device existing.
Share of a typical household energy bill that goes on heating and cooling. It is the biggest single thing worth automating.
Metering individual circuits is what turns a bill into a list you can act on. You cannot cut a cost you cannot see.
And the part that is specific to Lebanon
The published savings figures assume a grid that stays on. Here, a large part of what a system saves is generator fuel — by holding back the water heater and the air conditioning while you are on generator, and by making the changeover something the building handles rather than something that trips it. We cannot put a published percentage on that, because nobody has measured it properly. What we can do is meter your circuits and show you the before and after on your own property.
What we will not do
We will not put invented customer stories on this page, and we will not quote you a saving percentage before we have seen your distribution board. When we have installed a system for you and metered it for a month, the numbers on your property become the only ones that matter — and those we are happy to show you.
