All Home Owners have questions when it comes to the security and service of their home while away. At Jamrich Properties, LLC, we know that each home presents a unique set of concerns and that each owner has questions that pertain to their individual home. Here are some of the questions most frequently asked: Should we unplug the appliances? Yes, all of the minor ones. We suggest you leave the main appliances plugged in and just turn them down to vacation mode. The refrigerator/freezer is an excellent place to store any foods that might attract ants. What about the dishwasher and garbage disposal? We will run those on each inspection, for it prevents the seals and traps from drying out and to prevent unpleasant odors. Should we turn the Main Water Supply valve off? You may if you desire, but we do not find that necessary, and we will turn it on upon are inspections, and then turn it off after if you prefer. Should we turn off the Water Heater? We just suggest you turn the temperature down to vacation mode, we inspect the unit and lines on each visit. How should we set the Air Conditioner and Humidistat? The air conditioner should be set on cool/auto with a temperature of 80 degrees. The Humidistat should be set at 65 degrees or per your manufacturer's instruction sheet. What about left over foods in the cupboards? Remove all foods from cupboards and seal in plastic bags and place in refrigerator/freezer. Throw out any foods that will not keep. How can we prevent insect infestation? Have your pest control service spray before your departure, and then we will review on each visit and if need have your company out to re-spray. Do you monitor all the service companies we use, such as pool, yard, exterminators? Yes, we monitor that each service company is performing satisfactory service and we have the name and phone number of each company. Should we leave a light on inside or outside? That is a personal decision for many. We suggest a timer on one lamp inside, as for outside we do not find it necessary unless you are in a remote area. Can you provide referrals of licensed professional if we need work performed while we are away? Yes, we have many licensed professionals we work with on a daily basis, and have a very good working relationship with them. John R.
