Keep Your Home Safe, While You’re Away From Home
Before you leave your home for an extended period of time, you should arrange for someone that you trust to check-in on your home.
- Perform periodic checks to make sure that your power is on. This simple step may help prevent any frozen or refrigerated foods from spoiling.
- In the winter, lowering the thermostat to heat water and home helps reduce expense and unplugging major appliances is wise to protect your investments and may save on energy consumption.
- Many systems such as ventilating, heating and cooling, fans, security, and lighting continue to operate while you are gone. Although you leave home, energy use continues.
