FamilyBoardWater-heater records are more important than a generic maintenance checklist
Water heaters vary by fuel, design and installation. Because improper service can create serious hazards, the household organizer should focus on identity, professional service history and manufacturer-approved user tasks.
Keep installation details if known
Record model, serial number, installation date, installer and warranty information. If the date is uncertain, say so.
Preserve professional service history
Record inspections, repairs, replaced components and any recommendation about future service. Link invoices or references to the same asset.
Treat unusual water or equipment behavior as a service issue
Leaks, unusual sounds, error codes or major performance changes should prompt appropriate professional guidance rather than generic DIY instructions.
Use age as context, not a countdown
An older unit may deserve replacement planning, but the app should not claim a precise remaining lifespan.
Contextual CTA: Add the installation date and last service event now; those two facts are often the hardest to reconstruct when a water heater problem appears.
