Weather-Aware Home Maintenance
A seasonal schedule for your climate zone, plus freeze, storm, flood and heat warnings that become tasks.
A maintenance checklist written for the whole country tells someone in Phoenix to blow out sprinkler lines and someone in Minneapolis to flush an AC drain line in June. Blueprint places your home in a climate zone from its address and suggests only the seasonal jobs that fit, in the right month. When the National Weather Service issues a freeze, storm, flood or heat warning for your home, it becomes a task.
Covers US homes: climate zones from your address and warnings from the National Weather Service.
- A schedule for your climate zone
- The right jobs in the right month
- Warnings that become tasks
- Suggestions, not clutter
Why it matters
A schedule for your climate zone
Your address places the home in an IECC climate zone, 1 through 8, with a moisture type. Freeze, snow, hurricane, heat and wildfire risk follow from the zone and state.
The right jobs in the right month
Winterize faucets in October in zone 5, November in zone 3. Hurricane prep in May on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Defensible space before wildfire season in the dry West.
Warnings that become tasks
Freeze, hard freeze, winter storm, hurricane, tropical storm, flood and extreme heat alerts for your home's location become a dated task, and everyone in the household is notified.
Suggestions, not clutter
Seasonal tasks arrive as suggestions. Dismiss one and it stays dismissed. Weather tasks you never started disappear when the alert ends.
How it works

Who it's for
People who just moved to a new climate
Your first winter in a freeze zone, or your first hurricane season, without learning it the hard way.
Owners of second homes
A freeze warning at the cabin while you are at home becomes a task on that property.
Anyone who forgets the outdoor faucets
Which is most of us, every October.

Climate and weather FAQ
What is my home's climate zone?
The IECC climate zones run from 1 (hot, like Miami) to 8 (subarctic, like interior Alaska), with a letter for moist, dry or marine. Blueprint estimates your zone from the address, which is close enough for scheduling but not a building-code answer; the official map is drawn by county.
What should I do when there is a freeze warning?
Disconnect hoses and cover outdoor faucets, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, let a faucet drip on the coldest night, and know where your main water shutoff is. When a freeze warning covers your home, Blueprint puts these on a dated task.
Which weather alerts become tasks?
Freeze, hard freeze, winter storm, hurricane, tropical storm, flood and extreme heat alerts from the National Weather Service, for your home's location.
Does it work outside the US?
No. Climate zones cover US states and territories, and weather alerts come from the US National Weather Service.
Will it fill my schedule with tasks I do not need?
Seasonal tasks are suggestions you confirm or dismiss, and only the ones that fit your zone are suggested. A dismissed task is not suggested again.
