Ask your home anything: getting more from the Assistant
The HearthIQ Assistant is most useful when you stop treating it like a search box and start asking it the questions you’d ask a well-organized version of yourself.
Ask about the specifics
Try "what size filter does the furnace take?" or "what’s the paint color in the hallway?" Because the Assistant answers from your own home’s record, you get your details — not a generic web result.
Ask about timing
Questions like "when did we last service the water heater?" or "how old is the dishwasher?" are exactly what the timeline is for. The answer comes back with the date attached, so you can act on it.
Ask what to do next
It’s just as happy to reason forward: "what maintenance is coming up this month?" turns your scattered records into a short, calm to-do list.
