All good info. Ours is our resident home in TV, but gone for about 5 mo's to WI. for the summer. In the past we had a really good "House Watcher" that came once weekly and always sent a email. He has since moved out of TV. But, now have permanent neighbors
that do the house watch. If you don't have that, would really try to find a reliable house
watcher. Things can go wrong. Definitely need to keep lawn watered and cut.
Just as an F.Y.I. we find it is easier to switch off the breakers for the rooms that don't need power, easier that unplugging everything. We leave frig. on low, but put empty items in to take up airspace. Thus far all has worked well for us, hope you have the same.
