ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to property maintenance and, more specifically, to a maintenance scheduling system which would be used to help schedule and remind individuals when maintenance of items in and around a home or business need to be inspected and/or serviced.
2. Description of the Prior Art
People who own or maintain property must perform many different tasks in order to keep the property habitable. For example, many people routinely spray the property for insects; inspect and service the heating, ventilation and air conditioner (HVAC) unit; change the air conditioner air filter; drain water from the water heater unit; check the smoke alarm detector; etc. The problem is that many people forget to perform these functions. Even if one remembers to perform routine maintenance, they usually forget when the last time a system was inspected and/or serviced. Thus, many systems in a home or property may not perform properly or may even break down due to poor maintenance.
Therefore, a need existed to provide a maintenance scheduling system. The maintenance scheduling system would allow a user to track and/or schedule inspection and maintenance of items in and around a home or business.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, it is an object of the present invention to provide a maintenance scheduling system.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a maintenance scheduling system which would allow a user to track and/or schedule inspection and maintenance of items in and around a home or business.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a property maintenance scheduling system is disclosed. The property maintenance scheduling system has a calendar for displaying a current month. The calendar has an area for listing property maintenance to be performed during the month. In one embodiment of the present invention, the area for listing property maintenance to be performed during the month has pre-printed indicia listing each property maintenance task to be performed during the month.
The property maintenance scheduling system may further have two pluralities of labels. The first labels are to be placed on a calendar and are used to show what maintenance work is due to be performed on a particular date. The second labels are to be placed on each item that has been serviced and are used to show the future date of the next service.
A notebook may also be provided in the property maintenance scheduling system. The notebook is used for detailing the procedure for each property maintenance task to be performed during the month. The notebook may further be used for recording details of the work performed for each property maintenance task.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following, more particular, description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
