Frequently asked questions about HouseFlow

Who is HouseFlow for?

HouseFlow is for anyone responsible for things that need care over time, including homeowners, families, small business owners, childcare centres, schools, shops, gyms, workshops, and small commercial facilities.

Can I use HouseFlow for facilities management?

Yes. Equipment and spaces become assets, service schedules become maintenance reminders, operating expenses become costs, and contractors become saved service providers. The AI Guardian helps manage those records through plain-language conversation.

Is HouseFlow a CMMS?

HouseFlow is a simple CMMS alternative rather than a full enterprise CMMS. It focuses on asset records, preventive maintenance schedules, service history, documents, reminders, and cost tracking without requiring complex work-order or technician-dispatch workflows.

How does the AI Guardian work?

Tell Guardian what you want to add, schedule, or understand. It can turn a sentence into proposed assets, maintenance tasks, and cost entries, then show those changes for review before they are saved.

What can I track?

You can track buildings, rooms, equipment, vehicles, appliances, tools, warranties, receipts, manuals, serial numbers, maintenance schedules, service history, repair costs, and the providers who completed the work.

Can HouseFlow handle recurring maintenance?

Yes. Describe the task and frequency, such as servicing HVAC every fall or inspecting playground equipment every spring. HouseFlow creates a recurring schedule and keeps the service history connected to the correct asset.

Can I see upcoming and overdue work?

The maintenance schedule shows planned, in-progress, completed, overdue, and cancelled tasks. Filters make it easier to review work across individual assets, buildings, and facilities.

Can HouseFlow track costs?

Costs can be logged against assets for purchases, repairs, operating expenses, and recurring bills. This creates a clearer lifecycle-cost history for budgeting and repair-versus-replace decisions.

How do I get started?

Create an account and tell Guardian what you manage. You can start with a home, building, facility, vehicle, or piece of equipment and add more detail over time.
