Your home’s record, step by step
For anyone who lives in a home and wants to know what’s in it, how old it is and what’s next, and to keep its record right.
Look up your address
Type your address on the front page and pick your home from the list. It’s free and needs no account.

Each piece of equipment shows how old it is, which business installed it, what’s likely next and where each fact came from. “No permit on record” doesn’t mean it’s original: many water heaters and furnaces are replaced without a permit.
Add it to My homes
Press “Add to My homes”. If you aren’t signed in, type your email, enter the 6-digit code we send, and you’re back on the record. Then answer “How are you connected to this home?” with “I own it” or “I rent it”. Open its record; what’s due is at the top, under Yours; each one’s “Your care” has how-to steps, the manual and your own notes.
Walk the house and photograph the labels
Press “Walk the house”. Room by room, photograph the label on what’s there (the one with the model and serial number, on the furnace, the water heater or the outdoor unit), or press “Don’t have one”; you can skip one for now. Check what was read, then save. Can’t get a clear shot? Press “Type it”. About 5 minutes.
Fix what’s wrong
At the bottom of the record, “Fix or add to this record” takes something that’s gone, a service visit, the rooms or the panel. The earlier entry stays in the history, marked as replaced.
What’s shared, what’s private
- What you add about the equipment: label readings, what’s in each room, something that’s gone, a service date. It goes on the home’s record as the household’s word, so the next owner or tech sees it.
- Who added what: your name and email are never shown with anything you add.
- Your list of homes and how you said you’re connected to each.
- What you mark done, how often you do things, your filter sizes, notes and costs.
- Label photos: read for their text, then thrown away.
