Pioneering Technology Corp. announce that Mercy Housing, headquartered in Denver Colorado, has chosen SmartBurner as its cooking fire prevention solution for properties equipped with an electric coil stove. The decision follows a successful pilot program involving multiple properties across the United States without a single report of a cooking fire. SmartBurner is a direct easy-to-install replacement for coil elements on electric coil stoves and is proven to help prevent unattended cooking fires by controlling the maximum temperature to below the auto-ignition point of cooking oils and most common household materials, while still cooking effectively and efficiently. SmartBurner delivers a better cooking experience, helps reduce energy costs, and exceeds the new UL858.60A industry standard. It also has the support of many national fire service and prevention leaders. SmartBurner has been installed more than 1 million times without a single cooking fire. These are significant results given that cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires and fire-related injuries in America and cause more than $8 billion in direct and in-direct property damage annually. Approximately 50% of all house fires in the U.S. are due to cooking, specifically unattended cooking. Mercy Housing's recent SmartBurner pilot projects demonstrated that it can help prevent cooking fires before they can start.
