Established Homeowners
You know your home. Now get ahead of it.
You know which door sticks in the summer and which breaker trips when the space heater runs. It's the details that slip, like how old the water heater really is or whether the dryer was ever recalled, and HouseFacts keeps them straight so the home you know stops surprising you.

Start with the appliances
Walk the house once with your phone and snap each manufacturer label. From the make, model, and serial number, Appliance Intelligence works out how old each unit is, how long it should last, and whether it's under an open recall.
That's the question a long-tenured home actually asks: not "what do I own?" but "what's aging out, and when?" A water heater on year eleven reads very differently once you know the average one lasts twelve.
No, you don't have to dig up ten years of paperwork
The biggest worry after years in a home is the backlog: the receipts you didn't keep, the invoices buried in old inboxes. HouseFacts doesn't ask you to reconstruct any of it: forward one email to your home's private address and Smart Forwarding reads it, files it, and starts the record from today.
Every bill, warranty, and service confirmation after that files itself. In a year you'll have a better record than most people build in a decade. See how it works.
A rhythm for the home you already know
After years in a place, maintenance runs on memory: you clear the gutters in the fall because you always have. A maintenance plan built around your home's actual systems and climate turns that memory into a schedule, with reminders that arrive before the season does and a log of what got done, by whom, and when.
It also catches what memory skips. The anode rod, the dryer vent, the water heater flush: the quiet jobs that nobody remembers until the repair bill explains why they mattered.
The longer you've owned, the more the record is worth
Years in a home usually mean years of equity, and when the gain at sale is large, documentation of your improvements matters most. A documented cost basis, every remodel, roof, and system replacement with its paperwork attached, can help reduce capital gains taxes when you sell.
HouseFacts keeps those costs and improvements filed as they happen, so the record is simply there when the sale, the refinance, or the insurance claim asks for it. No shoebox archaeology required.
“I like that there's a lifespan, because then I can kind of budget out for when I might need a new furnace or a water heater or air conditioner and not have it as a surprise.”
That's the shift for a home you've owned a while: from reacting when something fails to knowing what's coming and planning for it on your own schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to enter years of old records to get value?
No. HouseFacts is built to start from today, not from a box of old paperwork. Snap your appliance labels, forward the next bill or service email that lands in your inbox, and your home's record builds itself from now on. If you later want to add an old invoice or the original inspection, you can, but nothing depends on it.
How does HouseFacts know the age and lifespan of my appliances?
You take a photo of the manufacturer label, and HouseFacts reads the make, model, and serial number to work out the age, the expected lifespan, and whether the unit has an open recall. From there it keeps watching: new recalls surface as alerts, and lifespans update your planning picture as the years pass.
I already have a maintenance routine. What does HouseFacts add?
It keeps the routine honest. Your plan is built around your home's actual systems and climate, reminders arrive on schedule, and every job you finish becomes part of a service history you can check later. The routine you carry in your head becomes a record your whole household can see.
What does it cost?
$99/yr or $9.99/mo per property, after a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. One subscription covers everything: Appliance Intelligence and recall alerts, Smart Forwarding, the maintenance plan, and the cost and document records that matter when you sell.
