HouseManual

For the people who live there

Feel at home in the details.

The more you know about a home, the easier it is to care for. HouseManual turns scattered knowledge into a gentle, searchable guide for everyday life and unexpected moments.

What should a home manual include?

A useful home manual includes critical shutoffs, system controls, appliance identifiers, manuals and warranties, recurring maintenance, service history, finish details, trusted contacts, and practical instructions specific to the property.

First dayLearn what controls the home and where essentials are located.
Every seasonRemember recurring care, filters, and setup changes.
When something breaksFind the right model, manual, warranty, and service context.
When it is time to movePass on useful knowledge without passing on private life.

A calm place to begin

Start with what matters most.

  1. Map the essentials. Record water and gas shutoffs, the electrical panel, HVAC controls, safety devices, and access details.
  2. Add the things you depend on. Capture major appliances and home systems, along with model numbers and manuals.
  3. Build the care rhythm. Add filters, seasonal tasks, inspections, completed maintenance, and service notes.
  4. Keep the irreplaceable details. Save finish selections, paint colors, parts, warranties, and instructions unique to the home.

Helpful for tenants, too

A tenant-facing manual can make a rental feel less mysterious without blurring responsibility. Keep approved operating instructions, appliance manuals, utility controls, care expectations, and property contacts together.

Always follow the lease and property manager’s instructions. Do not perform repairs, access restricted systems, or shut off shared utilities unless authorized or necessary for immediate safety.

The answer without the hunt

Small records. Lasting value.

A model number saved today can simplify a repair years from now. A paint code can prevent an entire wall from being repainted. A clear shutoff note can make a stressful moment calmer.

Prepare for urgent moments

Household questions

Make the home easier to know.

Is a home manual useful for renters?

Yes. Tenants can document the controls, appliances, care instructions, move-in condition, and approved maintenance details they need, while avoiding records that belong only to the property owner.

Where should I start?

Begin with the details that would matter in an urgent moment: main water, gas, electrical panel, HVAC controls, fire protection, and building or service contacts. Add appliances and routine care next.

Can more than one home be documented?

HouseManual is designed for clear, separate home records. Availability of multi-home workflows may vary by release and platform.

Can I give the record to a buyer or new tenant?

Yes. Create a PDF for easy reading or a structured handoff package, then review and exclude any personal details before sharing.
