FamilyBoardAppliance Replacement Planner
This tool prioritizes planning; it does not tell users to replace functioning equipment on a fixed birthday.
Inputs per appliance
- category/name;
- age if known;
- recent repair count (user-entered);
- recent repair cost (optional);
- current condition: normal / concern / unreliable;
- disruption if failure occurs: low / medium / high;
- replacement constraints already known: dimensions, connections, special household needs.
Output
Place items into:
- No immediate planning needed;
- Keep an eye on it;
- Research replacement options;
- Needs professional assessment / current problem.
The scoring logic must be transparent and conservative. Condition and disruption should weigh more than age alone. Never output “this appliance will fail within X months.”
Useful result actions
- save measurements;
- add replacement research task;
- add a reserve estimate manually;
- link repair history;
- print household replacement watch list.
CTA: Use the planner to decide what deserves attention—not to throw away equipment that still works well.
