How to Create a Home Maintenance Schedule Using the Evergreen Home App

Keeping your home in good condition requires regular maintenance. But with busy schedules, it can be easy to forget essential tasks like changing air filters, checking smoke detectors, or inspecting the roof. That’s where the Evergreen Home app comes in. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the Evergreen Home app to create an easy-to-follow maintenance schedule, so you never miss a crucial task again.

Why You Need a Home Maintenance Schedule

A home maintenance schedule helps you stay on top of important tasks that keep your house in great shape. By breaking down the tasks into manageable chunks and setting reminders, you can ensure regular upkeep without feeling overwhelmed. Scheduling tasks also helps prevent costly repairs by catching issues early, saving you both time and money in the long run.

1. Set Up Your Home in the Evergreen Home App

The first step to creating a maintenance schedule is setting up your home in the Evergreen Home app. Start by adding key details about your home, such as the size, location, and any unique features that require special attention. This allows the app to tailor recommendations based on your specific needs.

• Open the Evergreen Home app and select "Add Home".
• Enter your home’s details, including size, age, and location.
• Set your preferences for notifications and reminders.

2. Customize Your Maintenance Tasks

The Evergreen Home app comes preloaded with essential home maintenance tasks, but you can customize them to suit your home’s unique needs. Here’s how to get started:

• Select "Tasks" from the main menu in the app.
• Browse the recommended tasks, such as changing air filters, cleaning gutters, or testing smoke alarms.
• Add, edit, or remove tasks based on your preferences. For example, if your home has a pool, you might want to add pool maintenance tasks.

3. Schedule Recurring Tasks

To stay on track with your home maintenance, it’s essential to schedule tasks at the right intervals. The Evergreen Home app makes this easy by allowing you to set tasks to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or seasonally. Here’s how:

• Tap on the task you want to schedule, such as "Change HVAC Filters".
• Select how often you want the task to repeat — for example, every 3 months.
• Set reminders so the app will notify you when it’s time to complete the task.
• Repeat this process for other tasks, like checking gutters in the fall or inspecting the roof after winter.

4. Get Notified and Stay on Track

One of the best features of the Evergreen Home app is its notification system. You’ll receive alerts when it’s time to complete a task, so you never forget important home maintenance activities. Here’s how to make sure notifications are set up correctly:

• Go to "Settings" in the app.
• Make sure notifications are turned on and select how often you’d like to be reminded (e.g., one day before the task is due).
• Choose your preferred notification type, whether it’s a push notification, email, or both.

5. Track Your Progress

With the Evergreen Home app, you can easily track which tasks you’ve completed and which ones are coming up. The app keeps a log of completed tasks, helping you stay organized and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

• Open the "Tasks" tab to see your progress at a glance.
• Mark tasks as complete as you go, and view your maintenance history anytime.

6. Seasonal and Annual Maintenance

Certain tasks only need to be done once a year or seasonally. The Evergreen Home app allows you to schedule these tasks so they aren’t forgotten. For example:

• Spring: Inspect the roof for winter damage, clean the gutters, and test outdoor lighting.
• Summer: Check air conditioning units, power wash the house exterior, and inspect the deck or patio.
• Fall: Clean the gutters, service the heating system, and check smoke detectors.
• Winter: Insulate pipes, inspect windows and doors for drafts, and monitor for ice dams.
