Fire prevention

40% of electrical fire-starting faults can go unnoticed. Basis detects them instantly.


Your home demands 3× more electricity than your switchboard was built for*

More power creates more heat at weak points in your wiring, and traditional switchboards struggle to see it happening.

Overheating

Wires running too hot, slowly degrading insulation until it ignites.

Loose connections

Tiny gaps at terminals build resistance and heat over time.

Dangerous arcs

Electricity jumping across damaged or loose wiring, creating sparks that can start fires.

The Basis Board is designed for today’s homes.

Basis scans every circuit for the smallest, hardest-to-catch warning signs of electrical danger, cutting electricity instantly and alerting you before a minor issue becomes a serious risk.

How Basis prevents electrical fires

Advanced electrical safety devices, powered by digital smarts that detect and shut down even the smallest faults before they become serious.

Spots early warning signs.

Arc faults, overheating, and loose connections are hard to detect. Basis is packed with tech that catches subtle patterns caused by these faults early.

Stops escalation before ignition.

When a fault is detected, Basis immediately isolates the circuit, preventing small issues from becoming serious.

Alerts you to the issue.

Basis sends an instant alert to your phone with the circuit, fault type, and time, so you know exactly what happened and what to do next.

Protective technology you'd expect in a hospital, now in your home.

Advanced arc fault detection

Arcs cause 80% of electrical fires. Traditional switchboards can't detect them without expensive upgrades. Basis stops sparking, loose terminals, and cable damage before they ignite.

Thermal monitoring

Overheating at the switchboard is rare, but thermal monitoring adds extra protection, shutting down the circuit if temperatures get abnormally high.

Precision in overload & short-circuit response

Prevents circuits from overheating when too many appliances are running and stops sudden current surges that ignite fire.

Engineered to stop fires at the source

Switchboards are a common place for electrical fires to start. Basis is engineered with materials that contain fire, prevent its spread, and protect critical wiring.

Continuous self-monitoring

Basis checks itself and your home's wiring thousands of times per second, so you always know your home is protected.

A fire that never happened

Basis sent us an alert about overheating on a circuit we hadn’t touched in years. Our electrician said the wiring was degrading and could have caused a fire. We would never have known. Basis probably saved our home.
