Preventive Maintenance Checklist Generator
Answer four questions and get a facility-specific PM checklist in 60 seconds — measurable pass/fail tasks with the code references surveyors check (NFPA 72, NFPA 110, ASME A17.1), grouped by daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual. Built for the building you actually run. No account, no cost.
What type of facility?
Pick the closest match — it decides which equipment the checklist starts with.
Why generic checklists fail
It builds your inventory for you
You can't schedule PM on assets you don't know you have. The wizard pre-checks the equipment your facility type runs — you just confirm it.
Measurable, not vague
Every task has a pass/fail threshold. “Check boiler” becomes “verify pressure within 12–30 PSI” — so any tech gets the same result.
Audit-credible
Tasks cite NFPA, ASME, and ASHRAE standards where they apply — the references CMS and Joint Commission surveyors cross-check.
Tiered by criticality
Critical assets are flagged red at the top so a generator or fire panel never gets treated like a routine walkthrough.
Grouped by frequency
Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual — so a round is a round, not a guess about what's due.
Catches schedule drift
Flag anything past 110% of its interval. The optional live schedule tracks every due date and reminds you before it slips.
Checklists by facility type
Each page has the full written checklist plus this generator — pre-set for that facility type.

See the checklist →Questions
How often should fire alarms be tested?
Under NFPA 72, a rotating sample of devices is typically tested quarterly, with a full inspection and test of all devices annually by a licensed contractor. Confirm the cadence for your occupancy and jurisdiction.
How often should a standby generator be tested?
NFPA 110 calls for a monthly operational test under load (typically 30 minutes) plus an annual load-bank test — stricter for healthcare Level 1. Log every run; surveyors compare generator tests against outage and weather dates.
Is it really free?
Yes — free, no signup, no watermark. The checklist builds on your device and prints to a clean PDF. Only the optional live schedule with reminders is a paid upgrade.
What makes a good preventive maintenance task?
A measurable pass/fail criterion. “Check boiler” is useless; “verify pressure within 12–30 PSI” is auditable. This generator writes tasks with thresholds and code references so results are consistent between techs.
