July 7, 2022
When preparing to leave for a vacation, it's so easy to overlook basic home safety precautions. To protect your home while you're away and enjoy a worry-free trip, keep in mind the following tips:
- Unplug small appliances and electronic devices.
- Pause newspaper and mail deliveries.
- Lock all windows and doors.
- Arrange to have your lawn mowed while you're away.
- Have a trusted neighbour or family member keep an eye on your home throughout your trip.
- Set timers on inside lights and install a motion-activated sensor on outdoor lights.
- Consider turning off your home's water.
- Avoid posting photos of your trip on social media until after you return home.
- Raise the temperature on your thermostat or turn the system off completely. This ensures that you aren't paying to cool your home while you are away.
