Can Automist Cover an Entire House?
Yes, Automist can provide whole-house fire protection in compliance with NFPA 750, which governs water mist fire suppression systems for one- and two-family dwellings. It is designed to be a room-based solution, meaning multiple spray heads can be strategically installed throughout the home to ensure full coverage.
Automist consists of several core components that work together to provide intelligent, targeted fire suppression:
- Smoke Sensor – A ceiling-mounted sensor detects smoke, acting as the system’s initial trigger.
- Thermal Imaging Spray Heads – Wall-mounted nozzles equipped with thermal imaging sensors scan the room to identify fire location and direct the mist accordingly.
- Control Unit – The system’s AI-powered controller processes fire detection data and activates the correct spray head.
- Pump Unit – A compact high-pressure pump pressurizes the water mist system when a fire is confirmed.
- Flexible Hydraulic Hose – Delivers water mist from the pump to the spray heads, offering easy installation without the need for rigid piping.
Each of these components is carefully integrated to offer fast, accurate, and efficient fire suppression while minimizing water damage compared to traditional sprinklers.
Possibly. While insurance discounts or “policy credits” are determined on a case-by-case basis, Automist has already been used successfully to secure coverage and lower premiums for high-value homes — especially in wildfire-prone areas and PPC 10 risk classifications where traditional coverage is increasingly difficult to obtain.
As insurers tighten underwriting criteria due to rising wildfire risk and water damage claims, automatic discounts for standard fire suppression systems are becoming less common. However, Automist stands out as an innovative loss mitigation solution — not only by reducing fire damage, but also by minimizing the risk of excessive water damage, which is a major cost concern for insurers.
