B&T HomeBook The manual your house never came with Open the app

The manual your house never came with.

Photograph an appliance’s model plate and HomeBook finds its manual, tracks warranties and maintenance, sends reminders, and lets a seller hand the next owner a complete record of the home.

How it works

Three steps, starting with one photo.

Every appliance in your home carries a small metal plate with its make and model on it. That plate is all HomeBook needs to get started.

1

Snap the plate

Open the app and photograph the model plate on a furnace, fridge, washer, water heater — anything with a make and model. One photo per appliance.

2

Get the manual

HomeBook reads the plate, finds the matching manual, and shelves it with that appliance — alongside its warranty dates and maintenance record.

3

Hand it over

When the home sells, the whole record passes to the next owner: every manual, every warranty, every bit of upkeep. Nothing gets lost in the move.

For insurance

The home facts insurers always ask about — captured once.

Every insurance application and renewal asks the same questions about a house. HomeBook gathers the answers as you add your appliances and set up your home, so they’re ready the first time — and every time after.

Furnace & heatingMake, model, and age, read from the model plate.
Water heaterMake, model, and age, captured the same way.
Wiring & plumbingCopper or otherwise, answered once at setup and kept on file.
Roof & the rest of the houseThe standard setup questions, answered once instead of every renewal.

Shared only with your approval, every time. Nothing is pulled by address and nothing goes to an insurer or anyone else unless you say so, for that request, each time it’s asked.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

What does it cost?

Nothing for homeowners while we’re in testing. Receiving a home through a handover is always free.

What happens to my home’s record when I sell?

You create a handover code for your buyer. They claim it and the home arrives in their account, manuals, reminders and all. Your copy moves to your archive. Nothing is deleted, and you can restore it any time.

Who can see my home’s information?

Only you. We never sell your information or use it for advertising. If an insurance broker ever wants your home’s fact sheet, they can only get it with your approval, each and every time.

Do I have to be selling my home to use it?

No. Most people start by photographing the model plates on their furnace, water heater and appliances, and build from there.

Where is my information stored?

On a server in Toronto, Canada.

What if I have a cottage or a second home too?

Your first home is the full product, free. Adding another home you own at the same time is a small one time charge. A home you’ve sold stays readable in your archive at no charge.
