Cheapest first step: Book a precision tune-up ($150) to check the heat exchanger for cracks.
2.
Clogged Gutters: Chicago freeze-thaw cycles cause ice dams. Repairing roof/fascia rot costs $2,000+.
Cheapest first step: Clean them immediately before the first freeze.
3.
Pipe Freeze Risk: Exterior lines in Chicago will burst if not drained. Restoration costs $3,000+.
Cheapest first step: Disconnect all hoses and shut off interior valves today.
Next steps

About this skill
The problem
Homeowners often defer maintenance because a full year of tasks feels overwhelming. They end up facing emergency repairs costing thousands for issues that a twenty dollar filter could have prevented.
What it does
- Profiles your home in five minutes to identify key systems like HVAC, sump pumps, and roofing.
- Generates a seasonal checklist with cost tiers, DIY-vs-pro tags, and the specific disaster each task prevents.
- Identifies the three highest-risk gaps based on system age and current home issues.
- Provides cost-of-failure estimates to help prioritize urgent preventative actions.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General AI prompts often produce generic, year-round lists that lack urgency. This skill enforces a seasonal focus and attaches specific financial consequences to every task, making the ROI of maintenance immediately clear.
Use cases
- New homeowners needing an immediate triage list of urgent tasks.
- Identifying preventative measures after a major repair to stop the next failure.
- Seasonal prep for winter or summer based on specific climate zones.
Known limitations
Does not provide step-by-step DIY tutorials, 12-month schedules, or automated monthly reminders. Limited to one season per request.
