A home maintenance subscription is a service model where a maintenance company visits your home on a regular schedule — typically quarterly, or four times per year — and performs a defined checklist of maintenance tasks at each visit, for a set price. You pay the same amount every quarter, the same crew shows up every quarter, and the same defined tasks get done every quarter. There's no custom quoting, no service call fees, and no pressure to decide on repairs during a visit.
It's a fundamentally different model from the way most home services work. The standard model is reactive: something breaks, you call someone, you get a quote, you decide whether to proceed. A subscription model is proactive: maintenance happens on a schedule, before things break, at a predictable price you already know.
How It Works in Practice
At Planned, new customers sign up online, select a plan, and confirm their address. We schedule the first visit and confirm it by text. The crew shows up at the agreed time, works through the full seasonal checklist for that quarter, and leaves a photo report in your account showing what was done. You're charged after each completed visit; if a visit hasn't happened by the end of a quarter, the quarterly charge processes automatically so your membership stays active.
The same crew returns for the second visit, already familiar with your home's specific systems — your furnace, your water heater, the quirks of your gutters. That continuity is worth more than it sounds. A technician who has serviced your furnace four times knows what normal looks like for that unit, and is much more likely to flag an early-stage problem than a new contractor seeing it for the first time.
What It Costs
Planned offers three plan tiers. The Minimum plan is $225 per quarter, designed for townhomes, condos, and smaller homes. The Planned plan is $399 per quarter and includes the full interior and exterior seasonal checklist — it's the most popular option. The Signature plan is $599 per quarter and adds window cleaning three times per year and priority scheduling.
Annually, that's $900, $1,596, or $2,396 for a complete year of quarterly maintenance depending on the plan. The relevant comparison isn't whether that feels expensive in isolation — it's whether it's less than what reactive maintenance costs when systems aren't kept up. A single water heater replacement runs $1,000–$2,000. A furnace that fails and needs replacement typically costs $3,000–$6,000. A foundation repair caused by years of gutter overflow can cost $5,000–$15,000. These are not hypotheticals; they're the outcomes that consistent quarterly maintenance is designed to prevent.
Who Is This Right For
A quarterly home maintenance subscription makes the most sense for homeowners who value their time, don't have the skills or bandwidth to DIY seasonal maintenance, and want a predictable maintenance cost rather than unpredictable repair bills. It works especially well for households where both partners work, for homeowners who travel frequently, and for people who recently moved into a home and want to establish a clean maintenance baseline from the start.
It's also the right answer for anyone who's asked the question 'who takes care of home maintenance' and hasn't had a good answer. Planned is built to be that answer: a single service that handles the full seasonal checklist, shows up consistently, and doesn't charge you extra to do what you're already paying for.
The 12-Month Commitment
Planned's initial term is 12 months — four quarterly visits across a full year. This structure exists because real maintenance value accumulates over time: the first visit establishes your home's baseline, the second catches what the first missed, and by the fourth visit the crew has a detailed picture of your home's systems and what each one needs going forward. Customers who cancel partway through that first year before the model has had a chance to work are the exception, not the rule.
If you cancel during your first 12 months, an early cancellation fee equal to one quarterly plan charge applies. After your initial year, you can cancel anytime without a fee. From time to time we run promotional plans where that first-year commitment is waived — where an offer specifies different terms, those terms apply. Either way, it's the kind of transparent commitment we put in writing before you sign up — no surprises, no hidden terms.
