Home systems

Heating, hot water, ventilation, drainage and water supply — the fixed systems that need servicing on a schedule.

Every one of these systems has a service interval, and most have a warranty that depends on you keeping to it. These sheets record what was done and when the next one falls due.

Sheets in Home systems

Boiler Service Record

Keep the proof of annual servicing that boiler warranties commonly ask for, and an index of which engineer did what.

HS-01 2 pages

Water Heater Maintenance Log

Track the two jobs that decide how long a water heater lasts: flushing out sediment and replacing the sacrificial anode before it is gone.

HS-02 2 pages

HVAC and Heat Pump Service Log

Separate the annual professional service from the filter changes you do yourself, and keep both on one sheet.

HS-03 2 pages

Private Well Water Test Log

See how a private supply changes over years rather than judging it from one test, and keep the maintenance record alongside the results.

HS-05 2 pages

Water Softener Log

Keep a softener actually working, rather than discovering months later that it ran out of salt and the limescale came back.

HS-06 1 page

Sump Pump Test Log

Prove the pump still works before the water arrives, including the backup that nobody ever tests.

HS-07 1 page

Chimney Sweep and Stove Record

Roof Inspection Record

Spot roof problems early and, more usefully, see what has changed since the last inspection.

HS-10 2 pages

Wood Burner and Fuel Log

See what a heating season actually costs and which supplier and which fuel behaved best, rather than remembering it vaguely by March.

HS-11 1 page

Heating Oil Delivery and Usage Log

Track what goes into the tank and what comes out of it, so a short delivery, a leak or a bad month shows up as a number instead of a suspicion.

HS-12 1 page

Solar Panel and Inverter Log

Notice a system quietly under-performing, by keeping generation figures next to the faults, shading and cleaning that explain them.

Guides on home systems

Septic Tank Record Keeping

A private drainage system is invisible and entirely yours. What to establish about it, why emptying dates matter more than they look, and the warning signs.

Guide

Private Well Water Testing Records

A single water test tells you about one moment at one tap. A run of results tells you what your supply actually does, and that is where the value is.
