What Upkept does that Centriq never did

📅
Calendar sync

Maintenance lives in your calendar

Upkept exports directly to Google Calendar and iCal. Your furnace filter reminder lives next to your dentist appointment — not buried in an app you'll forget to check.

💰
Budget tracking

See what's coming financially

The annual maintenance forecast shows you upcoming costs by category — HVAC, plumbing, vehicles. Know the difference between "$20 now" and "$2,000 if ignored."

🔄
Auto-rescheduling

Mark done, next date auto-advances

Complete an oil change today? Upkept calculates when the next one is due and adds it automatically. No manual re-entry. The schedule stays current without you managing it.

⚡
60-second setup

First schedule in under a minute

Tell us your home type, add your appliances and car — Upkept generates a full maintenance schedule instantly. No lengthy onboarding. No manual task creation. It just works.

Frequently asked questions

Is Centriq really shutting down?
Yes. Centriq announced the discontinuation of their service. Their team built a great product and leaves behind a lot of loyal users who need a home maintenance alternative. Upkept is free, actively maintained, and takes 60 seconds to set up.
Does Upkept cost money?
No. Upkept is free. You get a full maintenance calendar, calendar sync, cost tracking, and auto-rescheduling — at no cost. There's no trial period or credit card required to get started.
Can I import my appliances from Centriq?
Yes. Upload your Centriq CSV export using the "Import from Centriq" button above. Upkept reads your appliance list, maps each item to its maintenance schedule, and generates your first calendar automatically. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
How does calendar sync work?
Once your schedule is set up, click "Sync to Calendar" on your dashboard. You can download a one-time iCal file or subscribe to a live feed that updates automatically in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or any app that supports .ics.
What kinds of items can I track?
Upkept tracks appliances (furnace, water heater, refrigerator, washer/dryer, dishwasher), vehicles (oil changes, tire rotation, filters, brake checks), outdoor systems (sprinklers, gutters, lawn care), and whole-home systems (smoke detectors, pest control, chimney). 35+ item types total.
How is this different from HomeZada or Homer?
HomeZada is feature-rich but costs $79–$199/year and takes significant time to set up. Homer is free but focused on contractor discovery. Upkept is free, fast (60-second setup), and built specifically around scheduled maintenance — with calendar sync and budget tracking that neither competitor includes for free.
