Every Way HomeRunbook Helps You

Finally See How Your Home's Systems Are Connected

HomeRunbook gives you an interactive, visual map of every system in your home — not just a list of appliances, but a map that shows how things are actually connected to each other. Which breaker feeds which outlet. Which pipe runs to which faucet. Which duct heats which room.

• Drag and drop from an exhaustive library of components found in real homes — panels, breakers, outlets, pipes, valves, ducts, vents, cameras, routers. Need something custom? Create it in any of the 11 trades.
• Connect things the way they're really wired. A plug connects to an outlet. A pipe connects to a valve. The map mirrors reality, so when you trace a connection, you get the truth.
• Click any device and trace upstream or downstream. "What feeds this outlet?" Click it. "What does this breaker power?" Click it. Instant answers.
• Separate maps for each floor or building. Your main level, upstairs, basement, garage — each gets its own canvas. Systems that cross floors stay connected.
• Filter by system. Show just electrical. Just plumbing. Just HVAC. Or see everything at once.

An AI That Actually Knows Your House

HomeRunbook's AI assistant isn't ChatGPT with a home theme. It has full knowledge of your specific home — every component, every connection, every maintenance record. When you ask a question, it traces the actual layout of your systems to give you an answer no generic tool can.

• "What's on breaker 14?" — It doesn't just check a label. It traces the circuit through your map and names every device, their power draw, and whether the circuit is overloaded.
• "Why is my bedroom cold?" — It follows the HVAC path from your furnace through the air handler, ducts, and zone damper to your bedroom vent, identifying where the problem might be.
• "When was the water heater last serviced?" — It checks your maintenance logs and tells you the date, what was done, and when the next service is due.
• "What's the warranty on my AC?" — It pulls from the documents and component records you've stored.
• Remembers your conversations. Pick up where you left off. The AI keeps context across sessions.
• Shows its work. Every answer links back to specific components and documents so you can verify.

Snap a Photo. Your Home Does the Rest.

You don't have to. Just point your phone at any piece of equipment — your furnace label, water heater nameplate, electrical panel — and our AI reads it for you. Manufacturer, model, serial number: all captured automatically in seconds.

• No app to download. Click "Visual Add" on your computer, scan the QR code with your phone, and start snapping photos. That's it.
• AI reads the label for you. It recognizes equipment, extracts the important data, and creates a complete component record.
• Batch capture. Walk through your mechanical room, furnace closet, or garage and photograph everything. Up to 10 devices per session.
• Review and adjust. The AI shows you what it found and how confident it is. Correct anything that needs it — but most of the time, it's spot on.
• Works from your computer too. Already have photos on your phone or camera roll? Just drag and drop them in.

Bottom line: You can document your entire home in a single afternoon without typing a single serial number.

Overlay Your Actual Floor Plans

Absolutely. Upload your architect's DXF floor plans and use them as the background for your maps. Now when you look at your home's topology, you see exactly where every component sits — physically — in your house.

• Upload your floor plans in DXF format. Walls, doors, and windows render beautifully.
• Adjust position, scale, and rotation to line everything up perfectly with your topology.
• AI reads your floor plans and spots architectural symbols — outlets, fixtures, vents — then suggests where to place components on your map.
• Adjust opacity so you can see the floor plan clearly behind your system connections.
• Don't have blueprints? That's okay. The visual map works great without them. Floor plans are a nice bonus, not a requirement.

Automatic Safety Checks Against Real Building Codes

HomeRunbook continuously checks your home's systems against real building codes — NEC for electrical, IPC for plumbing, IMC for HVAC. It doesn't just store data; it watches for problems and tells you about them before they become dangerous or expensive.

• Circuit overload detection. It adds up the power draw on every circuit and warns you when you're approaching unsafe levels — before the breaker trips.
• Missing safety protections. GFCI outlets required in kitchens and bathrooms? It checks. Smoke detectors in the right locations? It checks.
• Wire gauge validation. Is the wire thick enough for the circuit it's on? HomeRunbook calculates this automatically.
• Clear severity levels. "All Good," "Heads Up," or "Fix This" — so you know what's a minor note vs. a real safety concern.
• Checks happen automatically as you build your map. Add a component, make a connection, and your safety report updates in real time.

Never Forget a Filter Change, Flush, or Service Call Again

Emergency repairs cost 3-5x more than planned maintenance. HomeRunbook makes it easy to stay ahead of every filter change, water heater flush, and inspection — with reminders tied directly to the specific equipment in your home.

• Set it and forget it. Create recurring reminders — monthly, quarterly, annual — attached to specific devices. "Change HVAC filter every 30 days" is set up in seconds.
• Know what's overdue right now. Your dashboard shows you at a glance: what needs attention today, this week, and this month.
• Build a maintenance history. Log what was done, when, and by whom. Over time, you build an auditable record that protects your warranty, helps with insurance, and adds real value at resale.
• Syncs with your calendar. Export to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. Maintenance reminders show up right alongside your regular schedule.
• Your AI knows the history too. Ask "when was the water heater last flushed?" and it pulls the date from your maintenance log.

All Your Home's Documents — Manuals, Warranties, Contracts — In One Place

Every document your home generates — manuals, warranties, inspection reports, contractor quotes, insurance policies — stored, organized, and searchable. And the AI assistant can reference them when you ask questions.

• Store anything. PDFs, photos, Word docs, spreadsheets. Drag and drop, or scan documents with your phone's camera via QR code.
• Organize by room, system, or project. Folders with drag-and-drop structure. Keep things tidy your way.
• AI-searchable. Ask "what's the warranty on my water heater?" and the AI finds the answer in your stored documents.
• Built-in document editor. Edit documents right inside HomeRunbook. No need to switch to Google Docs.
• Share specific documents with your contractor, co-owner, or property manager. You control who sees what.
• Version history. Accidentally overwrite something? Restore a previous version.

Share Your Home's Map With Anyone Who Needs It

You can. Share your whole property, a specific room, or even just one system (like electrical) with anyone. Your spouse gets full access. Your contractor gets just what they need. You control it all.

• Share exactly what you want. Give your electrician only the electrical layer. Give your plumber only the plumbing. They see what they need, nothing more.
• View, Edit, or Admin access. Control who can change things and who can just look.
• Real-time collaboration. Work on the map together at the same time. See each other's cursors. Changes sync instantly.
• Invite by email or shareable link. Your contractor doesn't need to create an account to view a shared map.
• Great for couples. Both spouses can access and update the home's profile, so the knowledge isn't stuck in one person's head.

Every Component in Your Home, In One Spreadsheet

Open your inventory view and it's all there: every device across every room, with manufacturer, model, serial number, install date, and warranty status. Export to Excel in one click for insurance claims, contractor quotes, or your own records.

• See everything at once. Sort by room, trade, status, or age. Find what you need instantly.
• Update in bulk. Change the warranty date on 20 devices at once. Update a manufacturer name across all their products.
• Export to Excel. One click gives you a spreadsheet you can share with anyone — insurance, contractors, or your own files.
• Track what matters. Purchase price, warranty expiry, last service date, condition. All in one place.
