Brunel University of London halls of residence

Read the case study

At Brunel University of London, all halls of residence with electric cookers are equipped with Airis stove guards in the campus kitchens to reduce the risk of cooking-related fires and prioritise the safety of our students. Their installation has significantly lowered the risk of fire incidents and greatly reduced the number of false alarms, preventing unnecessary evacuations and enhancing the overall student experience at Brunel.

– Paul Digby, Fire Safety Advisor

Read the case study

By preventing cooking fires and reducing smoke, students are safer and less likely to experience false alarms. Frequent false alarms can increase risk by causing 'alarm immunity', where students become desensitised and fail to react appropriately. The Airis from Unicook is certified to BS EN 50615 and was chosen for its high reliability, robustness, and fail-safe design.

– Andy Littlejohns, Hoare Lea Ltd.

University of Brighton halls of residence

Read the case study

During the trial period the student accommodation kitchens involved had just one false alarm activation. In the same period in the previous year, these premises had eleven false alarm activations. So, the early intervention of the Airis stove guards has contributed to a substantial reduction of unwanted false alarm activations and unnecessary evacuations.

– Nick Greenwood, Fire Safety Manager

Read the case study

We selected the Airis BS EN 50615 system for the Hallsville Quarter development for its widespread use across the UK as well as its reliability and fail-safe design. With cooking fires accounting for approximately 50% of domestic fires, the system significantly enhances safety across the development. By preventing fires at their source, we're also reducing the likelihood of sprinkler systems being unnecessarily triggered, minimising potential water damage and disruption to residents.

Airis protects students from fires and smoke

Prevents fires

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.

Avoids false alarms

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.

Reduces smoke inhalation risk

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.

A sample of our university accommodation customers

Airis protects vulnerable people.

Airis stove guard enables residents in assisted living and extra care accommodation to cook for themselves thanks to its superior protection against kitchen fires:

Gives vulnerable people an increased sense of wellbeing and prolongs their independence.
Prevents fires and toxic smoke.
Allows people to cook on their stove, their way.
Airis only cuts the power to the stove when danger arises.

Airis is fail-safe and tamper-proof.

The SecureFit wall bracket is designed to prevent tampering. This is important for situations such as student accommodation and for people with dementia.

Users can’t remove batteries or change settings.
Airis automatically cuts the power if it senses dangerous cooking conditions, preventing kitchen fires from ever starting.
If the sensor isn’t working for any reason, Airis is able to prevent cooking immediately. This cannot be bypassed by turning the power on and off at the wall switch.

Thanks to its patented RobustLink technology, Airis can maintain two-way, interference-free communication between the sensor and the power controller at all times.

Airis connects to Telecare.

Airis connects to any Telecare system via standard wireless devices such as those provided by Tynetec, Doro and Tunstall. The PCU (power control unit) has two no-volt outputs which are ideal for connection to any telecare wireless device. These outputs can be inverted if required, and various conditions can be set.

PCU output signal states

Output 1	Output 2	Meaning
OFF	OFF	Nothing to report
OFF	ON	Normal cooking detected
ON	OFF	Alarm. Airis has cut the power to prevent fire or smoke
ON	ON	Fault detected

Herts Careline is one of the Telecare organisations leading the way by keeping clients safe and independent with Airis.

Frequently Asked Questions Relating To Airis Products

If you don't find an answer to your question below, please visit our Knowledge Base

Who uses Airis?+

Airis is used in private homes and by housing associations, universities, local authorities, and fire services.

Do Airis stove guards have advantages over other makes?+

Yes. Airis technology is truly fail-safe. Other stove guards can be bypassed, in the event of a fault, by switching the power off and on at the wall. While other stove guards rely on a single infrared sensor, Airis stove guards use several high-tech sensing devices and AI-driven algorithms to ensure the power is cut at the earliest time without false alarm.

Is Airis suitable for people living with dementia or other physical or mental impairments?+

Airis is ideal for people living with neurodegenerative diseases, as well as those with cognitive and/or physical impairments, such as compromised mobility or eyesight. The person cooks on the hob in the way that they always have done, while being protected by Airis from a cooking fire.

Can Airis stove guards prevent smoke?+

Airis stove guards can greatly reduce the amount of toxic smoke from cooking oil becoming overheated, but can't eliminate it. Airis cannot prevent a pan boiling dry and creating smoke, however these situations are extremely unlikely to lead to a fire.

How long is the warranty on Airis products?+

Airis comes with an unlimited warranty for as long as your subscription runs. A one-off purchase comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, which Unicook extends to 3 years when you register your product.

Does Airis work with all types of electric hobs/cookers?+

Yes. Airis works with all hobs/stoves up to 90cm wide powered by electricity, including induction, ceramic/halogen, and older 'iron ring' style hobs.

What about hobs in islands?+

For this application, a ceiling-mounted version of Airis is available called the Airis-C.

Can Airis stove guard be used on gas hobs?+

Airis is only for electric hobs (all types).
