Importing manuals, warranties & insurance

Pull specs, maintenance schedules, and policy details out of your paperwork.

Eave is your home's memory, so the paperwork that comes with your home has a place to live. Upload a manual, warranty, or insurance declarations page and Eave reads it for you, pulls out the details that matter, and files them where you'll find them later.

Where to start

Go to Sources in the sidebar and open the Manuals, Warranties & Insurance importer. You can upload a PDF or photos of the pages. Eave reads the document, shows you what it found, and nothing is saved until you review and confirm it.

What gets extracted

Eave handles two kinds of document differently:

  • Manuals and warranties — Eave pulls out specs (like filter sizes and part numbers), the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, and the warranty term. You can link the document to a specific appliance or system so everything stays together. The maintenance schedule becomes tasks you can add to your plan.
  • Insurance declarations page — Eave extracts your carrier, policy number, annual premium, renewal date, deductible, and coverages, and saves them as a coverage record. It also sets a renewal reminder about 30 days before your renewal date, so you're never caught off guard.

File size limits

  • PDFs must be under about 3 MB. If a PDF is larger, Eave will ask you to shrink it. Two easy fixes: use your computer's "print to PDF" on just the summary pages, or snap photos of the key pages instead.
  • Photos are handled for you. Eave automatically resizes images before upload, so you don't need to shrink them yourself. iPhone HEIC photos are converted automatically. If a single photo is still too large, take it again at a lower resolution.

Where it shows up

  • Extracted specs and maintenance schedules attach to the appliance or system you linked, and appear in Systems & Appliances.
  • Suggested maintenance becomes tasks you can add to your plan — nothing is added without your okay.
  • Insurance details are saved as a coverage record, with the renewal reminder appearing in your upcoming reminders.

Common questions

Quick answers

Do I have to keep everything Eave finds?

No. Every import shows you a review step first. You pick what to keep, then confirm. Nothing is written until you say so.

Is this a paid feature?

No. Importing manuals, warranties, and insurance documents is available on the free plan.

Can I link a manual to a specific appliance?

Yes. During the review step you can attach a manual or warranty to any appliance or system in your home, so the specs and schedule live right alongside it.

My PDF won't upload — what now?

It's almost always over the ~3 MB limit. Print just the summary pages to a new PDF, or photograph the key pages and upload those instead.

Does Eave store the original document?

Eave keeps the details it extracts and files them in your home. If you ever want to leave, you can download everything you've added as a single export from My Account. Still stuck? Reach us at support@eavehome.app and we'll help.
