Chapter II of VIII · Home Systems

Know what runs your home

Model numbers, install dates, filter sizes, manuals, and service history for every major system, found in seconds, not behind an appliance.

The homeowner problem

Standing in the aisle at the hardware store, phone in hand, trying to remember the filter size for an HVAC system that’s two years old. Crouched behind the water heater with a flashlight, reading a corroded label to a technician on speakerphone. Every home is full of equipment nobody thought to write down, until the moment it breaks.

What Home Handoff remembers

Home Systems keeps a record for every major system in the home, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, security, appliances, solar, and networking. For each one:

  • Model and serial numbers
  • Installation dates
  • Filter sizes
  • Manuals
  • Warranties
  • Service history
  • Photos
  • Replacement information, once a system nears the end of its life

A realistic example

A technician arrives to service the HVAC system and asks for the model number stamped on a unit mounted eight feet up in the attic. Instead of climbing a ladder, the homeowner opens Home Systems on their phone and reads it straight from the record, model, install date, and the last two service visits, right there.

Why the history matters later

A system record turns a repair call into a five-minute job instead of an hour of searching. It also builds the maintenance and service history that matters later, for a warranty claim, for a technician who wants to know what was done before, and for a buyer’s inspector who wants to see how equipment has actually been maintained.
