Manufacturers install products in hundreds of thousands of new homes every year, and then lose sight of them completely.
AIHomes creates a verified, at-installation product record that connects you directly to the homeowner, the warranty event, and the lifecycle of every unit you ship.
You manufacture products that go into new homes, HVAC systems, appliances, roofing, windows, flooring, cabinetry.
After installation, they essentially disappear. No registration. No lifecycle data. No direct homeowner channel. Until now.
Warranty registration programs that rely on homeowners to self-register yield single-digit to mid-teen response rates.
The vast majority of your installed product base has no registered owner, no contact information, and no documentation trail.
Industry research consistently finds that fewer than 15–20% of new home appliances and building products are warranty-registered by homeowners, leaving manufacturers exposed with no visibility on 80%+ of their installed base.
Once your product ships to the builder, your direct relationship with the end user ends. You can't send maintenance reminders, extended warranty offers, filter replacement notifications, or recall notices, because you don't know who owns the product or where it is.
Manufacturers with connected product lines report that reaching homeowners for recalls, service bulletins, or accessories requires expensive, indirect campaigns with low reach rates.
When warranty claims do arrive, they often lack installation date, installer identity, or product configuration context, making validation slow, expensive, and dispute-prone.
Fraudulent or out-of-coverage claims are difficult to screen without verified installation records.
Verified installation documentation reduces warranty dispute resolution time significantly and provides a defensible record for coverage decisions.
Your product may have three or four owners over its lifetime. After the first homeowner sells, you lose the trail entirely. Subsequent owners don't know the product's installation date, service history, or remaining warranty coverage.
The average U.S. homeowner moves every 5–7 years. Without a persistent product record, manufacturers lose contact with the majority of their installed base within the first ownership cycle.
Builder-confirmed installation records for every product entered at closing, no homeowner action required. Name, address, installation date, and serial number captured at the source.
Send maintenance reminders, filter replacements, annual service prompts, and recall notices directly to verified homeowners, with consent, through a channel they already trust for their home.
Every warranty claim submitted through AIHomes includes the verified installation record, date, installer, property, and configuration. Dispute resolution becomes faster and more defensible.
Homeowners with active product records are ideal candidates for extended warranty and service contract offers, delivered at exactly the right moment in the ownership lifecycle.
When the home sells, your product record transfers to the new owner automatically. Your brand and warranty relationship follow the product, not just the original buyer.
Understand where your products are being installed, which builders and markets are specifying your products, and how your installed base is distributed geographically, in aggregate, with privacy controls.
AIHomes doesn't ask homeowners to register their products. The builder enters product data at closing, and your registration happens automatically, with verified installer identity, installation date, and property address.
During the digital handoff, the builder records every major installed product by category, make, model, and serial number, including your products. This happens once, at closing, as part of the standard builder workflow.
Verified by builder
Every product entered by the builder becomes a line item in the home's permanent digital property record, linked to the address, the installation date, and the homeowner's profile. The record is archived for the life of the structure.
Permanent & transferable
With homeowner consent, you can send warranty reminders, maintenance notifications, extended warranty offers, and recall communications directly to the verified owner of your installed product at any point in the ownership lifecycle.

The challenges AIHomes addresses, product registration gaps, homeowner engagement, warranty documentation, and digital transformation are active priorities for the leading associations representing home product manufacturers.
AIHomes is built to complement, not compete with, the frameworks and initiatives these organisations are already advancing.
AHAM represents manufacturers of major home appliances, refrigerators, washers, HVAC, and more. Their AHAM Verifide® certification program and connectivity/IoT initiatives reflect the industry's push toward traceable, documented product performance throughout a product's lifecycle.
AIHomes alignment: Provides the at-installation registration infrastructure that AHAM members have long needed, capturing verified product data at closing without relying on homeowner self-registration, supporting IoT connectivity records and AHAM Verifide® documentation trails.
The NAM is the largest manufacturing association in the United States, advocating for digital transformation, supply chain visibility, and innovation across all manufacturing sectors through its Manufacturing Leadership Council and Manufacturing 4.0 initiative.
AIHomes alignment: Directly extends Manufacturing 4.0 principles to the residential construction supply chain, giving manufacturers the post-installation data visibility and digital homeowner channel that supply chain modernisation demands but new home construction has never delivered.
Across the country, regional manufacturer associations, from the Carolinas to the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest, advocate for the mid-market and specialty manufacturers who supply the residential construction industry. These organisations are increasingly focused on digital transformation, supply chain modernisation, and operational data as competitive tools for their members.
AIHomes alignment: Mid-market and regional manufacturers, the backbone of the residential product supply chain, gain post-installation visibility and a direct homeowner channel without requiring enterprise-scale IT investment. AIHomes is built to work for manufacturers of every size.
Warranty disputes are costly not just in dollars, but in labour, legal exposure, and customer satisfaction. AIHomes provides a timestamped, builder-verified installation record for every product entered at closing, creating a defensible documentation foundation before the first call ever comes in.
