If you’re eager to escape the cold in North Dakota and head to warmer weather, we can’t blame you! But before you catch that flight to sunnier skies, make sure your home is protected while you’re away.
Keep Your Home Safe While You’re Away
Here are a few tips to keep your Fargo home safe and secure during your winter getaway:
Notify Neighbors
Let trusted neighbors know that you’ll be gone for an extended period and ask them to keep an eye on your house. Ask them to pick up any mail or packages that may arrive and make it seem like someone is still home by leaving lights on timers.
Invest in a Home Security System
Consider investing in a home security system that offers remote access and alerts. This way, you can monitor your house from afar and receive notifications if any suspicious activity occurs.
Bonus: Did you know upgrading your home security might even mean you’re eligible for a discount on your home insurance? Ask us about it!
Unplug Appliances
To avoid any potential electrical fires while you’re gone, unplug all non-essential appliances. This will also save you some money on your energy bill.
Set Your Thermostat
If you’re leaving for an extended period during the winter months, be sure to set your thermostat to a lower temperature to save energy. But don’t turn it off completely – this could cause pipes to freeze.
