The way a car carries its history, your home should carry its own. You own the record, and it travels with the home. Every furnace, A/C, water heater, electrical panel, heat pump, solar array, and EV charger, tracked over the life of the property, with the invoice, warranty, permit number, and service filed by the contractor.
Here's what changes when the mechanical and energy history of a home travels with the home.
Your inspector did what they're licensed to do: walked the roof, checked the foundation, flagged what's visible. But mechanical and energy systems sit outside an inspector's scope. A model number and an estimated age are usually as deep as it gets.
The report fills in the rest. Furnace installed 2019, four years of warranty left. A/C replaced 2022, permit on file. Hot water tank fifteen years old, well past its replacement window. The home isn't a mystery. You walk back to your agent with leverage, and the next conversation isn't a guess.
You moved in six months ago. The furnace stopped overnight. You walk down to the basement and find a faded sticker on the side of the unit, half-peeled, the year illegible. Upstairs, you start scrolling: scattered emails from contractors you don't remember, a PDF invoice buried somewhere, a receipt the previous owner mentioned at closing and you can't find. That's the entire history of the most expensive room in your home. The contractor you call starts from zero, because the home never came with a story.
When a contractor finishes the work, they file it. The invoice. The permit number. The manufacturer warranty registration. The serial number on the unit. The technician who did the install. Three years from now, when something goes wrong, the warranty paperwork is already there. The permit number is right where the city asks for it. The spend is tallied. You don't keep the receipts. The record does.
Registering your home is free, with no card required, so your home's record starts the day you join. Reserve your founding rate while the first 20,000 spots are open, and when the premium report and analytics layer launches, the founding homes hold the rate of $79.99/year for the life of the home. Your record activates the moment your first enrolled contractor logs a service event.
You can add the make, model, and serial number of your equipment yourself. Service notes and job records are added and signed by your contractor. You should never need to open or take apart a unit; read the numbers from your contractor's records, the invoice, or the owner's manual, or have your technician record them.
Pricing excludes applicable taxes, which may be added on future renewals as registration completes.
AHR is a homeowner-facing record, and it's the registry underneath the work of the builders, contractors, property managers, and multifamily operators who actually maintain that record. Each has their own partnership.
Every install, permit, warranty, and pre-occupancy service signed by the trades, handed to the buyer at closing alongside the keys.
Every service entry you sign carries your credentials, attaches to the property, and stays visible to whoever owns it next.
Owner reports that self-assemble. Service history that travels with the property. Operational credibility your owner-clients pay you for.
Build-to-rent runs on uptime and predictable capital. Every boiler, chiller, elevator, and in-suite system carries a verified condition record, so capital plans hold, tenant downtime drops, and the portfolio underwrites cleanly at refinance or sale.
AHR is a record. It's not a service provider, a permitting authority, or an inspection company. Knowing the scope keeps everyone clear on what they're getting and where to go for the work itself.
We do not pull permits, contact your municipality about permits, pay for permits, or verify that a permit is on file with the city. Permit numbers attached to your record reflect what your contractor entered; verification with your local authority is yours or your contractor's responsibility.
We do not inspect, certify, or verify the quality of any work performed on your home. We are not licensed contractors, engineers, or home inspectors. We verify that contractors signing records are real, credentialed, insured tradespeople, the workmanship itself is between you and them.
We do not perform, schedule, dispatch, quote, or charge for any service work. All service events, repairs, replacements, and disputes about workmanship are handled directly between you and the contractor you choose.
We do not issue, manage, transfer, or honor warranties. Manufacturer warranties and labour warranties are issued by the manufacturer or contractor and stay with them. Warranty documents on your record are stored for reference; we don't administer or enforce them.
We do not recommend, vouch for, or assign specific contractors to your home. The contractors on the registry are those who have enrolled and met our credentialing requirements. Choice of contractor is always yours.
Your record does not replace home inspections, lawyer reviews, lender appraisals, or due diligence at transactions. It's supplemental documentation that travels with the home, not a substitute for professional review at moments that warrant it.
If something on your record needs to be verified, corrected, or disputed, that conversation happens directly with the contractor who signed it, we make their credentials and contact information available. Our role is to keep the record straight.
