Home maintenance schedule

Build a seasonal maintenance checklist for the user's home and climate, and put the recurring tasks on their calendar.

Ask for it like this

  • “What home maintenance should I do this fall?”
  • “When should I replace my furnace filter?”
  • “Make me a home maintenance checklist”

What your assistant does

  1. Ask about the home: house or condo, rough age, heating and cooling type, water heater type, roof, yard, and ZIP code (for climate).
  2. Search manufacturer guidance and reputable sources (Energy Star, the US Department of Energy, the local utility) for service intervals that fit those systems and that climate.
  3. Write a checklist grouped by season and by frequency (monthly, quarterly, yearly), each task with a one-line reason and whether it is a DIY job or one for a pro.
  4. Call out anything time-sensitive this season, such as shutting off outdoor faucets before the first freeze.
  5. Offer to add the recurring tasks to the user's calendar as reminders.
