Frequently asked questions
Is FixtureWise free?
Yes. Everything is free — browsing, guides, cost ranges and maintenance reminders. No account and no paywall.
Where are my reminders stored?
In your browser's local storage, on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server. Clearing your browser data will remove them.
What does the difficulty rating mean?
Easy means hand tools and no disassembly. Moderate means some disassembly or special tools. Challenging means significant disassembly — consider a professional.
Are the cost ranges exact?
No. They are typical US parts-only ranges meant for orientation. Actual prices vary by brand, region and whether you hire a professional.
Do the guides cover gas or electrical panel work?
No. Fuel-line and strong-electrical jobs are intentionally excluded from the catalog — those require licensed professionals.
