For Home AED Owners
Your home AED, always ready
You bought an AED to protect your family. Defib Hound makes sure it's actually ready when you need it, with free tracking and automated reminders.
Free forever. No credit card required.
Why home AED owners need Defib Hound
You made the smart decision to have an AED at home. But maintaining it is easy to forget when life gets busy.
Electrode pads typically expire every 2-5 years. Batteries last 4-7 years. Without tracking, it's surprisingly easy to let these slip until you're staring at an expired date during an emergency.
The free Personal plan gives you everything you need: expiry tracking, email reminders, and QR-based inspections. No ongoing cost, no hidden fees.
Common home AED scenarios
-
Family history of heart conditions
When cardiac events run in the family, having a ready AED provides peace of mind.
-
Rural or remote properties
When ambulances are far away, those first minutes matter even more.
-
Hosting events at home
Parties, family gatherings, or just having older relatives visit regularly.
-
Post-cardiac event
Survivors and their families often invest in home AEDs for future protection.
Home AED Success Story
Australia, 2024
"After my husband's first cardiac event, I purchased an AED for our home. Eighteen months later, he collapsed again while I was making dinner. Because I'd kept the device maintained and checked regularly, I knew exactly where it was and that it was ready."
He survived. The cardiologist told me the AED likely saved his life.

Questions from home AED owners
Is Defib Hound really free for personal use?
Yes, completely free. The Personal plan includes 1 device with full expiry tracking, email reminders, and QR code inspections. No credit card required, no trial period, no hidden fees. We believe everyone with a home AED should have access to basic compliance tools.
How often should I check my home AED?
Most manufacturers recommend monthly visual checks: confirm the status indicator shows "ready", check that pads and battery aren't expired, and ensure the device is clean and accessible. With Defib Hound's QR code, this takes under a minute. You scan, answer a few quick questions, done.
Can my family help with inspections?
Absolutely. The QR code on your AED lets anyone with a smartphone perform an inspection without creating an account. It's guided and simple - perfect for asking a spouse, adult child, or neighbour to check on things if you're away.
What if I have multiple AEDs (home, boat, caravan)?
The free Personal plan covers 1 device. If you have multiple AEDs across different locations (home, boat, holiday house, caravan), the Starter plan at $99/year lets you track up to 5 devices with monthly SMS reminders and compliance exports.
