As the time nears for snowbirds to return home, it’s vital to make sure your seasonal property is secured and maintained to avoid any issues while you're away. The shift from a lively, busy seasonal home to an empty one can expose it to risks like theft, weather-related damage, and deterioration from neglect. Before you set off on your journey back, it's important to adopt a thorough strategy to protect your property. Here are some essential Safe Home Management steps to consider before you depart:
Pre-Departure Checklist for Absentee Snowbirds
Schedule Necessary Maintenance: Have your A/C serviced and filters replaced to ensure efficiency. Clean gutters and trim trees to prevent storm damage and pest issues.
Inform Jeff at Safe Home Watch Team: Share your departure date and home care instructions to ensure your property is adequately monitored.
.
Prepare for Power & Security Issues: Unplug electronics to prevent power surges, empty perishables from your fridge, and suspend newspaper delivery to avoid signs of vacancy.
Manage Utilities & Services: If leaving for an extended period, place your cable and internet on vacation mode and ensure security is aware of your home watch provider.
Check Vehicle & Golf Cart Storage: Unplug your golf cart and top off the batteries with distilled water. If leaving a car, arrange for periodic start-ups to maintain battery life.
