Home Maintenance Reminders

A monthly checklist of home upkeep that is due or overdue, from filters and smoke alarms to seasonal jobs, with what you need for each task.

Here is my home and its upkeep list: [HOME TYPE, e.g. house / apartment], climate [e.g. cold winters], and tasks as [TASK | HOW OFTEN | LAST DONE], e.g. replace HVAC filter | every 3 months | [DATE]; test smoke and CO alarms | monthly | [DATE]; clean gutters | spring and fall | [DATE]; flush water heater | yearly | [DATE].
On the 1st of each month:
1. List tasks due this month or overdue, overdue first, with how many days overdue.
2. For each, give one line on what's needed (part, size or tool from my notes, e.g. filter size [SIZE]) and a rough time estimate.
3. Add any seasonal task that fits this month and my climate if it isn't on my list, marked "suggested", at most 2.
4. Remind me to tell you when I finish something so you can update its last-done date.
If nothing is due or overdue, reply "No home tasks due this month." Keep it under 150 words.
Never book contractors, order parts or contact anyone. If a task needs a pro, draft a short request I can send myself.

Replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your own details before scheduling.
