No matter how you heat your home, maintaining your heat to a certain level is critical. Freeze-ups in an empty or unoccupied home can cause expensive damage. Water from broken pipes can flood a house in a  matter of hours causing structural damage and loss of personal property.

To prevent any problems from occurring while you are gone, please:
  • Make sure your heating system is working properly prior to departing
  • Ask someone to check on your home often in your absence
  • Set your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher
If you know you will be away from your home for any length of time, arranging for supervision is the best thing to avoid preventable mishaps.
