Prepping Your Home For Vacation

We hope your summer plans include a vacation, whether big or small! To make your homecoming even nicer, check out this list to prep your home for vacation.

Check Temperature

If you have a smart thermostat, turn it on eco mode while you’re gone. If not, consider turning your AC off or leaving it on 85 degrees. This will help save on your electric bill.

Clean Refrigerator

Check expiration dates and throw away anything that will expire while you’re gone. Wipe down any spills that may have recently happened.

Test Smoke Detectors

Ensure that your smoke detectors are working and have reliable batteries.

Have an Emergency Contact

Reach out to a neighbor or friend who can drive by to check on your home while you’re away. Even leave them the contact of your plumber or handy man incase something goes wrong.

Take Trash Out

You will thank yourself if you remember to take your trash out before heading out of town.

Leave on Lights

Leave at least 1 exterior light on so those passing by will assume someone is home.

Hide Spare Keys

If you typically leave a spare key outside, bring it inside and potentially leave it with your emergency contact.
