Preserve every detail. Protect every system.
Your home is a system of interdependent assets, appliances, and fixtures — and every one of them degrades without regular use and oversight. Cocoon’s Appliance and Asset Check ensures every electrical, plumbing, and structural component is inspected, tested, and documented on every scheduled visit — so problems are caught before they become failures.
Whether your property has been vacant for months or is in active use, Cocoon’s ground team performs comprehensive appliance and asset checks to detect wear, damage, or failure — with a full timestamped report delivered within 24 hours of every visit. Plan coverage: Appliance health checks are included in the Fortnightly and Weekly plans as a standard service. Monthly plan members can add a standalone Appliance and Asset Check — contact us for scheduling.
Basic vs. Advanced Checks — What Each Visit Covers
| Category | Basic Check | Advanced Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asset Matching | Verify assets and layout against previous visit report | Note additions, removals, and condition changes — update inventory with photographs | Prevents asset loss and provides a documented baseline for insurance and tenancy purposes |
| Electrical Switches and Points | Visual and functional test of all switches and outlets | Circuit load test; fusebox observation under full load | Detects overloaded circuits, faulty switches, and unsafe tripping patterns |
| Lighting and Fans | Switch on and off test for all lights and fans | Fan regulator speed test; check for flickering or dimming | Confirms functional lighting; identifies wear, loose connections, or regulator failure |
| Small Electrical Appliances | Switch on basic appliances — kettle, mixer, and similar | Voltage stability test during appliance use | Ensures appliances are not drawing excessive current or causing tripping risk |
| Plumbing Fixtures | Run water through all taps, faucets, and showerheads | Check drain speed, leaks under sinks, pipe noise, and tank flow rate | Identifies clogs, slow drainage, and hidden leaks before they cause structural damage |
| Kitchen Appliances | Switch on and verify: fridge, microwave, stove | Check temperature performance, gas ignition, filter condition, and operating cycles | Confirms all kitchen appliances are functional and guest or arrival-ready |
| Windows and Doors | Open and close test; report any jamming or resistance | Inspect hinges, handles, swelling, decay, and misalignment | Prevents damage and security vulnerabilities during monsoon or extended closure |
| Wiring and Cabling | Inspect all visible wiring — electricity, internet, cable TV | Test continuity, grounding, and exposed wires near outdoor areas | Detects potential safety hazards before they become urgent or dangerous |
| Water Pump | Manual activation and operational check | Observe for noise, delayed response, and irregular pressure | Pump failure due to motor rust or prolonged inactivity is among the most common issues in vacant NRI properties |
| Indoor and Outdoor Plants | General condition report | Soil dampness check, pest signs, and irrigation system inspection | Feeds directly into gardening schedule recommendations and plant care coordination |
When This Check Is Performed
- On every Fortnightly and Weekly plan visit — scheduled automatically as part of the visit protocol.
- As a standalone scheduled visit for Monthly plan members — contact us to arrange.
- Before or after monsoon season or an extended vacancy — recommended regardless of plan tier.
- Before a guest, tenant, or owner arrival — to confirm all systems are functional and the property is fully ready.
Why Regular Appliance Checks Matter
Most property issues start small — an unused pump, a faulty switch, a slow drain — and become expensive without regular oversight. In Kochi’s climate, humidity accelerates appliance wear, motor rust, and electrical deterioration significantly faster than in temperate climates. For NRI properties that may be vacant for 6–10 months of the year, an undiscovered fault can cause cascading damage that far exceeds the cost of the regular inspection that would have caught it.
Cocoon’s structured appliance checks — documented, photographed, and reported within 24 hours — are not a premium extra. They are the core of what a scheduled property visit should do.
