A NEW HOME FOR YOUR RECORDS
Looking for a Centriq alternative?
Your home's record is worth keeping. Home Tech Vault gives appliances, manuals, receipts, warranties and service history a place to stay — on the web and on iPhone.
If you have your Centriq export
- Keep an untouched backup of the export and any attachments you saved separately.
- Open a working copy and start with your five most important appliances. Use the field guide below to add each device in HTV.
- Attach your saved manuals, receipts and photos, then check purchase dates and warranty coverage against the original documents.
This is a manual transfer guide, not an automatic import template. Export headings can vary; match the meaning of each field. A spreadsheet does not necessarily contain the files linked from it.
| Information in your export | Where to put it in HTV | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Item name or description | Device name | Use a recognizable name, such as Kitchen refrigerator. |
| Manufacturer or brand | Brand | Keep the manufacturer separate from the model. |
| Model number | Model number | Copy exactly, including letters, hyphens and leading zeros. |
| Serial number | Serial number | Keep it as text so spreadsheet software does not alter it. |
| Room or location | Room / location | Group equipment where you use it. |
| Purchase date | Purchase date | Check the date against your receipt. |
| Notes | Device notes | Keep installation and service details you can verify. |
No export? Start with five appliances.
Photograph the model and serial plates on your refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, water heater and HVAC system where they are safely accessible. Add each device, then look for receipts in your email and purchase history. Find manuals on the manufacturer's website using the exact model number. Leave unknown dates blank rather than guessing.
Start with one device today. A small, accurate record is already useful.
What Home Tech Vault can replace today
If you liked having the paperwork beside each appliance in Centriq, that is the job HTV focuses on. It is not a drop-in replacement for every Centriq service.
| Need | HTV today |
|---|---|
| Appliances and home equipment | Keep models, serial numbers, purchase dates and rooms together. |
| Manuals and proof of purchase | Attach saved manuals, receipts and warranty documents to their devices. |
| Warranty and service records | Record coverage dates and maintenance history; capabilities depend on plan. |
| Household access | Household adds shared access with member roles. |
| Centriq migration | No dedicated Centriq CSV importer. Use your export as a reference and add the records manually. |
| Old attachments and missing data | HTV cannot recover documents or data from Centriq. Upload copies you already saved. |
| Parts, filters and recall services | Do not assume Centriq's parts matching or recall services carry over. Check the manufacturer for these details. |
