Reduce false alarms and prevent fires in student accommodation with Airis stove guard. With Airis, kitchen fires and fire alarm activations in student accommodation can be a thing of the past. Airis reduces management time and improves the student experience.
Airis doesn’t wait for fires. It prevents them from ever starting using advanced technology fit for modern fire safety. Normal, safe cooking is not affected.
Airis dramatically reduces false fire alarms as well as activations of other systems, such as suppression hoods and sprinkler systems. Deploying Airis means real alarms are taken seriously.
Airis can act before significant smoke is produced, preventing fire system activations. This means safer students, a safer kitchen and a safer building. This is indispensable in studio apartments.
Airis is widely deployed in thousands of UK student kitchens, in both the private sector and university accommodation. Fitting Airis is now established practice across many universities and private student accommodation providers in new schemes, during refurbishments and in retrofits.
Students are widely recognised as a high-risk category for cooking incidents due to lack of experience and the likelihood of being distracted. This risk can be exacerbated by the use of alcohol and recreational drugs.
Airis prevents fires and can greatly reduce smoke, and students don’t even know it’s there unless it acts to prevent a dangerous situation.

“Have just installed 50 of these units on a university project, quality bits of kit which serve their purpose with ease of installation to boot.”

If you have any questions or need any help or advice, we can call you.
Since early 2018, we have supplied many customers, all with several hundred Airis stove guard systems each, and we are pleased to say that our failure returns rate is lower than 0.5%!
Airis has a design life of 15 years and is made in a factory that specialises in high build quality. This encompasses automated state-of-the-art quality testing of the production processes, integrated with quality management. Unicook has visited the factory and inspected the end-to-end process first-hand. Each Multisensor and PCU assembly is electronically examined at many stages, culminating in a test at maximum load.
If you would like to talk to a customer, please let us know and we’ll be pleased to arrange contact.
Airis stove guard can be used on any hob up to 90cm wide powered by electricity, including induction.
The Airis Multisensor has a battery life of 1-3 years. The AA batteries are easily changed.
Airis fulfils and goes far beyond the requirements of the BS EN 50615 standard, and meets certain building regulations.
With Airis Sense WiFi, devices can be connected to Airis Cloud for top-down organisational views of devices and activity and safety data.
By acting before a fire or significant smoke is produced, there are many ways in which Airis saves time and money.
Reduces management overheads from inspections, evacuations and reporting following fire alarms.
Repairs and insurance claims due to fire and/or smoke damage can be avoided.
No more disruption to students’ sleep, studies and daily life.
When optional leak sensors are used, damage from water leaks can be prevented.
Airis acts proactively. No fires and less smoke means fewer sprinkler system activations.
No false fire alarm activations means no needless fire and rescue service visits.
Airis prevents fires from even starting, which means no expensive rehousing is necessary.
Avoids the need to redecorate and ventilate following smoke damage or the use of extinguishing equipement.
No damage to - or loss of - personal effects and items of sentimental value.
Over 1000 Airis stove guard units are installed at the Universities of Surrey and Leicester. With their cooperation, we were able to retrieve data collected over a period of several months from around 20 kitchens at each university, with a mix of ceramic and metal plate type cookers/hobs each university. The chart illustrates the positive effect of Airis.
The frequency of Airis interventions was consistently around double for metal plate hobs than for other types. This is likely to be down to the slow response time in heating and cooling which is characteristic of this type of stove.
In some kitchens, Airis intervened in as many as 13% of cooking sessions. It is important to note that while Airis will not interrupt normal safe cooking, it can often detect when a pan has boiled dry or food has started to burn. Airis, therefore, intervenes to prevent a kitchen filling with smoke and prevents damage to hobs and pans, well before a dangerous situation develops.
