Yes — Automist can be used as an alternative to an NFPA 13D fire sprinkler system in domestic occupancies, where permitted by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Automist is not an extinguishing system; it is a fire suppression system that is specifically designed and Listed for domestic use, meeting the intent of NFPA 13D sprinkler protection.

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.

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.

All electrical supplies to the Automist pump and controller should be installed in accordance with the regulations and requirements specific to your local jurisdiction. It is a requirement to install Automist on a separate circuit to the protected room and its contents. The fire detection and alarm system may use this circuit, as all must remain powered in the event of a fire.

Yes. Automist uses artificial intelligence with thermal imaging to detect and target fires more intelligently than traditional sprinklers. Thermal cameras “see” heat rather than light, so they can identify the unique heat signatures of a fire even through smoke or in darkness. Unlike flame detectors, which only react to a visible flame, Automist interprets the thermal image to decide if suppression is truly needed. This means it can distinguish between real danger and harmless heat sources like ovens or fireplaces, greatly reducing the chance of false activations.
