when we had a home in Ft Lauderdale we'd close it for the summer and set the temperature for 80 and never had any issues
what we also did was:
- we'd leave the closet doors open
- we'd prop up the pillows on the couches and chairs to allow air to circulate
- we'd leave a couple open boxes of Arm & Hammer around
- we'd pour some bleach into the toilet bowls
- we'd empty out the refrigerator
- I'd put a couple of ice cubes in a container and place it in the freezer...when we returned I check to see if those ice cubes were still individual cubes...if not, that means the power had gone off and all the food inside the freezer needed to be tossed
- we also had a neighbor that would check on the house
- we'd also empty out the ice machine in the frig and turn off that water line...(if you lost power, the ice would melt and you'd have a mess)
- lastly we'd turn off the water at the main
- there are folks in TV that will check you home while you're away...we've used a fellow named Don Nangle...super guy, former home inspector I believe...very reasonable 352.630.9509
