water and water heater off, irrigation system on, stow anything outside, we tape all drains and place plastic wrap over the toilets, set AC at 80, leave 2 lights on timers, let neighbors know our plans, we left the fridge on this winter and placed cable and internet on away mode. That is about it for the six months we are away. Over the other six months we hope to be down at least 4 weeks but generally do close to everything for those time periods.
