A home inventory of everything that came with your house

The appliances and systems in your house, each with its model, serial number, age, a photo of its label, and its receipts, in one place you own.

What goes in it

• 

  Every appliance and system

  Brand, model, serial number and the year it was made, read from one photo of the label. Furnace, water heater, AC, fridge, washer and the rest.

• 

  Finishes, too

  Paint colors, counters and floors, so the next touch-up matches.

• 

  Receipts and warranties

  Your house gets its own email address: forward a receipt or a manual and it's filed on the right thing.

• 

  The house's history

  Repairs, replacements and inspection findings, dated, with who did the work.

Fast ways to fill it in

• Walk your house onceThe starter walk goes through the ten things almost every house has. One photo per label, read while you keep walking. About 15 minutes.
• Built new? Add your builder's papersUpload the order sheet or closing papers, and every appliance on it becomes a record you check off.
• Add your inspection reportEvery appliance and finding in the report comes in for you to review, with the page it came from.
• Scan a service receiptThe work, the parts and a new unit's model and serial, read from the receipt for you to approve.

Why keep one

If something breaks, you know the model before you call. If you ever have to file an insurance claim, the models, serial numbers, photos and receipts are already in one place. And if you sell the house, you can hand the whole record to the buyer.

House Lantern is built around the house itself: its appliances, systems and finishes. Ask your insurer what they need for a claim.
