Appliance Age & Inspection Planner / no guesswork hidden

Know the age. Preserve the evidence.

Create an appliance record, organize inspection observations, and plan replacement reserves without guessing serial-number codes or declaring equipment safe.

Your working plan

A maintenance record, not an automatic diagnosis.

Computed locally

Keep age, condition, and evidence separate

Age alone does not establish remaining life, warranty coverage, reliability, or safe operation.

Documented age10.2 yearsTime since installation; manufacture can be earlier

Replacement planning range$1,364.00–$2,120.00Entered materials, labor, and material tax

Monthly reserve scenario$72.58Midpoint cost over 24 months; no investment return assumed

Safety-tagged findings0Preserved from your structured observations

Before you act

Gas, electrical, fire, refrigerant, water, and structural concerns require appropriate qualified review. Follow emergency-service guidance for an immediate hazard.
The planning-life and cost ranges are user-entered assumptions, not model-specific service-life or local contractor quotes.
Reports can contain personal information. Imports and saved plans remain local; review exports before sharing.

Inspection findings, original wording preserved


No matching records. Add records or adjust your filters.

Documentation gaps


Serial-number decoding	Not performed: no verified manufacturer rule is assumed
Manufacture-date evidence	Not established
Service-life range	8–15 years, entered planning assumption only
Warranty / recall / safety status	Not determined

Calculation notes & limitations

Age is elapsed days from the documented date divided by 365.2425 for display. Installation date does not establish manufacture date.

Replacement range = entered material range × (1 + material tax) + installation allowance. Monthly reserve uses the range midpoint divided by the chosen horizon.

Structured observations are displayed verbatim after HTML escaping. Severity is supplied by the user or inspector, not inferred or downgraded.

Plan name

Saving is optional. Files and records never leave your browser through this app.

02 / Look under the hood

The method is part of the tool.

Record whether the known date is installation, manufacturer-confirmed manufacture, or unknown. Never guess a serial-number decoding rule.

Preserve original inspection wording, evidence, severity, and recommended action. Keep safety findings ahead of budget planning.

Build an explicit replacement-cost range and a monthly reserve scenario from user-entered prices, tax, labor, and timing.

03 / Know the boundaries

Evidence before certainty.

Age and model identity cannot establish safety. This tool does not inspect appliances, validate a serial code, diagnose faults, or replace qualified inspection.

These are reference sources, not evidence that example records have been verified. Imported records retain the source links you provide.
