Do I need smart-home sensors for this?

No. Alerts are generated from your home profile, equipment ages and service history — no hardware required. Smart-home integrations are optional extras.

Why am I getting an alert about something that seems fine?

Alerts are risk-based, not fault-based. An aging water heater that works today still deserves a plan. You can dismiss anything that isn't relevant.

How accurate are the lifespans?

They're industry-typical ranges for the equipment type, adjusted by install year where you've provided one. They're planning guidance, not a prediction of failure.

Can I act on an alert directly?

Yes — schedule it as a maintenance task, or open it as a project and collect bids from local pros.

Preventive care alerts

Warnings before the failure, not the invoice after it

HomeHelp watches the boring numbers — how old your water heater is, when the roof was last touched, how long since the HVAC was serviced — and tells you what deserves attention now, what can wait, and roughly what each option costs.

Age-aware

Equipment has a known service life. When yours approaches it, you get a heads-up while replacement is still a planned purchase.

Seasonal and local

Freeze prep, storm-season drainage checks and cooling tune-ups surface at the right time for your climate.

Cost avoidance first

Alerts are prioritized by what a failure would actually cost, so the cheap task that prevents a big loss rises to the top.
