What it changes, in one example
Underfloor heating is the classic. It goes in at real cost, and then it gets run badly or not at all, because nobody ever explained it and the installer's booklet went wherever those booklets go.
The manual gives it a page of its own: how to turn it on, how to set it to run itself, what to change season by season, and how to run it so the comfort arrives without the power bill stinging.
Multiply that by every system in the house, from the hot water to the automation, and that is what the manual is: the difference between owning your home's features and just living near them.
FAQ
What do I need to supply?
Access to the home, and whatever records you hold: receipts, warranties, paperwork from the build or any renovation. Appliance details can be researched from the maker; paint colours, carpet and curtains only survive if a record of them exists, so what you can find shapes what the manual can hold.
Which level fits my home?
Homes up to four bedrooms fit The Home Manual. Larger homes take The Home Manual, Unlimited. If you are not sure, describe the place and Shane will tell you.
What do I actually receive?
A searchable file that opens in any browser, works without internet, and is yours outright whatever happens, plus a printed folder for the kitchen drawer.
