55 and 82. If you have one of the new programmable thermostats, simply put it on vacation mode. It is set for proper temperatures to work with its humidistat. If you are not going to have your house checked by someone, a dehumidistat is a very good investment.

Other good things to do are turn your water to the house off; fill plastic bags with ice and place one over any drainpipe, especially the shower; put some toilet bowl cleaner or bleach in each toilet, cover bowl with plastic wrap; put your garage door on lock; unplug fridge and be sure to leave doors open; open all closet and cabinet doors; get a surge protector from SECO.
