When we returned to Ohio in the summer when we were snowbirds we set the air on 83..that is what the contractor who put it in said to do.We opened all closets and some people open drawers, we didn't. We had the paper stopped.

We left unopened cereal. Put sugar and flour in the fridge. Gave away all opened stuff in the pantry or threw it out

We turned off the water and the circuit breaker for the water heater.. We had motion lights in the back. We brought in our lanai furniture. We did not cover toilets. We did not turn off refrigerator, or turn off the ice maker. We did not open dishwasher.

We didn't have anybody to come in and check. The neighbors had the key and one time when we were gone in December they came in and turned off the air and turned on the heat when it was near 32 degrees.

They also entered our home before we returned without our asking and put in milk and a sweet roll for our breakfast and a welcome home note and turned up the air..We know if there had been a power outage for any length of time, they would have taken stuff out of freezer.



I think I am forgetting something.

When we returned we would find spider webs under the kick boards in kitchen and in the corners. The vac made short work of them. Sometimes we would find a few tiny ants in the bathrooms and Deans came out right away and sprayed their trails and put down traps...gone.
