I assume all homes will find the almost the same - electric bills about the same in vacant summer months as used winter months. Water reduces dramatically but water for irrigation may increase.
Unless you have done your own lawn care in the winter the summer months will stay the same as winter
It is essential to keep air con running 24/7 although you may increase the temperature for it to come on - fail to use the ac and you risk a bill of hundreds of $ to correct mildew and related problems
Strongly suggest you use an empty nest service to ensure that the house is watched over, that wc, washers etc are run (weekly?) and that any golf cart is used and charged. Cost for empty nest services about $50/month
Comcast will put their services into 'absent' mode which is not free but much cheaper - be warned they will then cancel any incentives of lower rates for the first 2 years
