The HomeScore Lifecycle Model™
Every home system moves through five predictable stages. Understanding where your systems are changes how you plan, budget, and make decisions.
System performing within expected parameters. Routine maintenance only.
Preventative maintenance becomes critical. Efficiency starts declining.
Failure probability increases. Budget for replacement. Monitor closely.
System at or beyond expected lifespan. Plan replacement proactively.
Technology or efficiency improvements justify early replacement regardless of age.
