This walkthrough shows the Home Assistant evidence trail from a failed HVAC blower: cooling was active while the downstairs temperature kept climbing, then the maintenance dashboard turned the repair into runtime-based filter reminders, reset actions, and a 360-day condenser-line cleanout reminder. [Watch the video](https://youtu.be/nScl2JxYSB8), browse the YAML in [config/packages/climate.yaml](config/packages/climate.yaml) and [config/dashboards/overview/partials/water_sections.yaml](config/dashboards/overview/partials/water_sections.yaml), and follow the background in [issue #273](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/issues/273).
