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

Keep the certificate index that home insurers ask for after a chimney fire, and track flue condition over time.

HS-08 2 pages

Gutter Cleaning Log

Keep gutters on a schedule instead of clearing them after the damp appears, and record faults you spotted but did not fix.

HS-09 2 pages

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.

HS-13 1 page

Gas Furnace Service Record

Give a forced-air gas furnace its own record, rather than folding it into a general heating-and-cooling log that was built around a different kind of system.

HS-14 1 page

Radon Mitigation System Check Log

Catch a stopped radon fan or an iced-up vent exit when it is checked, not months later. Every check compares the manometer with the reading on its label.

HS-15 2 pages

Drain and Sewer Lateral History Record

Turn repeat drain blockages into a dated pattern a plumber or insurer can follow. A camera survey or a repair quote can then be read against the line's whole history.

HS-16 2 pages

Backwater Valve Inspection Log

Know the backwater valve works before the sewer backs up, not when it does. Each line dates one opening, cleaning and check of the gate and seal.

HS-17 1 page

Grinder Pump Alarm and Service Log

Report a grinder pump fault that comes and goes with the dates and what was running. An engineer can do far more with a pattern than with one call.

HS-18 2 pages

Crawl Space Inspection Checklist

Find standing water, a torn vapour barrier or damp joists under the house early. Readings at the same named points show whether the space is getting wetter.

HS-20 1 page

Window and Door Hardware Care Log

Keep hinges, locks and seals working by caring for each window and door on a record. A stiff handle or a blocked drainage slot is noted the first time it shows.

HS-21 2 pages

Appliance Water Hose Inspection Record

Find a bulging or cracked supply hose behind the washing machine before it splits. Each hose gets a fitted date and a replace-by date you choose, so an ageing one is changed on purpose rather than after a flood.

HS-22 2 pages

Household Leak Check Sheet

Hunt for leaks across the whole house in one sitting, starting at the water meter. Every toilet, tap and outside pipe gets a line, so a dripping cistern or a weeping relief pipe is found and fixed rather than paid for on the bill.

HS-23 1 page

Stop Valve Exercise Record

Find out which stop tap or isolating valve has seized now, not the night a pipe bursts. Each valve is listed once, and each gentle turn off and back on is written down with how it felt.

HS-24 2 pages

Radiator Bleeding and Boiler Pressure Log

Turn a boiler that keeps losing pressure into a dated pattern an engineer can act on. Every gauge reading, top-up and radiator bled goes on one record across the heating season.

HS-25 2 pages

Home Ventilation Check Sheet

Check that the vents, fans and air bricks the house already has are open and working. Closed trickle vents, dead fans and buried air bricks are easy to miss, and this puts each one on paper with who was told.

HS-26 1 page

Humidifier Cleaning and Water Change Log

Keep each humidifier's tank emptied, dried and cleaned the way its manual says. Water left standing in a tank, and scale on its parts, are what the makers' cleaning instructions are there to prevent.

HS-27 2 pages

Lead Service Line and Tap Water Test Record

Keep the evidence about lead in your supply pipe and your tap water in one place. How the pipe was identified, what the supplier says, every lab result as reported, and any pipe replaced or filter fitted.

HS-28 1 page

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.
