1. Unfortunately, due to commitments, we are unable to come and stay and enjoy our home until late September. We know that the HVAC still has to stay on even when empty during the summer months, but what temperature is recommended during the summer season?
2. Would like some recommendations please for home insurance companies.
3. Is there a choice of electricity, broadband and water utility providers or are we limited to just one company for each utility?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Sandy (really excited)!!

Some additional thoughts:
1. Have someone check your mailbox. You will be getting bills from the NSU for your monthly amenities fee that has to be paid whether you are living in the house or not.
2. Also, have someone turn down the setting on your hot water heater (the tank) to “low” or to a setting marked “vacation,” if you have that. This will save on energy. Do not turn the hot water heater off completely for a long period of time because scum will grow inside of the tank.
3. Also, have someone turn off the water to your washing machine. If the washing machine hose ruptures while the house is unattended, you will have major flooding and damage.
Welcome to The Villages and enjoy your new home.
