What's free and what's paid
The Homeowner Book
A plain-English field guide to the home as an asset — what every major system costs, when it fails, and what it does to your value and your insurance. No jargon, no upsell to read it.
- The 100-year view on roof, A/C, electrical, and plumbing
- Cost realities, not contractor sales pitches
- Written by the team that actually holds the trade licenses
The Trade Education
The freemium step up: deeper, module-by-module training on each system — cheat-sheets, cost ranges, and decision frameworks. The live opt-in funnel and paid tools live on academiare.com.
- Module library across all ten home systems
- Decision frameworks for repair-vs-replace and ROI
- Bridges directly into our /improve and /perform pages
Ten systems, the 100-year view on each.
The free book is the hook. The trade education is where it goes deep — cheat-sheets, cost realities, and what each system actually does to your value and your premium. Browse a module, then go pro on academiare.com.
