We follow the detailed checklist provided by the Homewatch Company, which has at least 20 reminder items. We have a Humidistat which saves us a ton of money. I put bowls of coffee in each room. If we forget to turn on the ceiling fans or open closet doors or close the blinds, etc., we know our Homewatch Company will take care of it. Before we arrive back in TV, our Homewatch turns up the fridge temperature, and reconnects anything we've disconnected.

We find that having a Homewatch Service gives us peace of mind. Some Insurance Companies require regular home checks. We don't want to impose on our great neighbors, even though they do offer.
