Heading South for Winter?

Heading South for Winter?

If you’re avoiding the New England cold and snow this year, it is important to proactively prepare and protect your home when away for an extended period of time this winter.

Maintain your heat: Make sure your heating system is working properly prior to departing and set your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher.

Monitor your home: Asking family, friends or neighbors to regularly check on your home in your absence can help prevent costly damage. Water from broken pipes can flood an empty or unoccupied home in a matter of hours, causing structural damage to the house and loss of personal property.

And don’t forget to utilize the technology already in your home while away: program your smart thermostat, set up additional alerts, and adjust the cameras on your home security system to capture potential problem areas.

Any problems, make sure we’re on your emergency contact list - our technicians are available 24/7 at 203.227.5181!
