Guided Home System Orientation

Tier 3 participation includes the option to schedule a guided Home Maintenance Orientation Session.

This session provides an opportunity to review key areas of the home and better understand how major home systems function together.

How the Orientation Session Works

  • Available as a guided Zoom session or in-home (where available)

  • Session format (Zoom or in-home) will be confirmed based on availability and scheduling

  • In-home sessions may involve additional time and service considerations depending on location and scope, and will be confirmed during scheduling.

  • Focused on practical understanding and informed maintenance decision-making

Homeowners are encouraged to review their home and note any areas of uncertainty prior to scheduling a session.

This helps ensure key questions and areas of concern are addressed first, making the session more focused and effective.

Inside the Home Maintenance Guide & Planning System

The guide and planning resources provide a structured overview of common residential systems and key maintenance considerations, including:

  • Planning and preparation for home system awareness

  • Plumbing fixtures and common maintenance considerations

  • Electrical systems and safety devices

  • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems

  • Exterior maintenance awareness for roofs, gutters, and siding

  • Windows, doors, and exterior envelope considerations

  • Garage doors and mechanical components

  • Interior hardware, surfaces, and flooring awareness

The goal of this combined system is to provide a physical reference and a dedicated space to record key information—supporting organization, ongoing planning, and long-term continuity.

Printed guides are made available through the Education Forward initiative and participating community organizations.
