Home Maintenance Planner

A preventive maintenance program for your home doesn’t need to be complicated. Start by identifying the equipment you own, the checks you can safely perform, and the tasks that need a professional.

Your starter maintenance plan

  1. List equipment: Water heater, heating and cooling equipment, plumbing fixtures, and connected leak alarms.
  2. Record details: Manufacturer, model, installation date when known, and manual links.
  3. Choose safe checks: Filter condition, visible leaks, alarm status, and blocked airflow.
  4. Set intervals: Follow manufacturer instructions and adjust for use, conditions, and professional advice.
  5. Keep a log: Date, observations, corrective action, and follow-up.
