Take Care of your Home Before You Travel
July 1, 2016
With the kids off from school and long holiday weekends, summer makes the perfect time for a family vacation. AAA reports more than 40 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles away from home this summer. Ensure your home remains safe with these easy tips:
- Switch off / unplug all electrical appliances (except the refrigerator / freezer!)
- Turn your air conditioner off, or even better – set your programmable setback or Wi-Fi thermostat to “away” status to keep a manageable temperature
- Ensure valuable personal items are away from windows (televisions, computers and other electronics)
- Store other valuables in a safe place
- Pause all deliveries such as newspapers and mail
- Use a timer device to automatically turn on lights at a pre-scheduled time of day
- Avoid any mention of travel on social networking sites
