Posted by Hal Thomas on September 25, 2012

Today on WSAV Tech Tuesday, we talk about BrightNest, a free web based service that helps you keep track of all your home maintenance tasks and reminds you when things need to be done.

How does BrightNest work?

  1. Go to BrightNest.com and signup for a free account.
  2. Answer a few quick questions about your place of residence.
  3. Start adding home maintenance to-do list items OR answer a few more questions about your residence and let BrightNest start making the to-do list for you.
  4. BrightNest will email you whenever something needs to be done.

What if I don't own my home?

No problem. BrightNest keeps track of things like timetables for changing air conditioner and furnace filters, cleaning the gutters, and it can remind you when to test/change the batteries in your smoke detectors.

What else does BrightNest have to offer?

  1. BrightNest has a feature they call their homefolio. This handy little feature lets you keep track of your paint colors, appliances manuals and warranty information, sizes for your A/C or furnace filters, and more.
  2. BrightNest also has a great blog that offers regular tips on how to make some household chores a little bit easier and well as ways to make small improvements to thing that can wind up saving you money.
