Choose any two packages below for $600
Secure your home, save energy, and ensure safety while you’re away.
When you're heading out for up to three weeks, this service gives you confidence that your home is locked down properly, systems are set for efficiency, and risk is minimized. I’ll take care of key shutoffs, test safety systems, secure your windows, and prep your home so you can enjoy your time away.
Utility Security: I’ll shut off water (or partially restrict if preferred), close the gas valve if applicable, and disable or reduce power to select outlets
Alarm Testing: We’ll test smoke and CO detectors to ensure they’re functional and ready
HVAC Optimization: I’ll set your thermostat for energy savings (per Department of Energy advice), change the filter if needed
Drain Protection: Run water through sinks and tubs to refill p-traps and avoid odors or sewer gas issues
Security Check: Lock and secure all windows, attic or hatch entrances, and other access points
Plant Care: Recommend or install auto-waterers (if agreed) for indoor plants
Energy Safety: Turn off unnecessary power drains (TVs, chargers, nonessential electronics) per energy-saving best practices
Exterior Lighting: Install energy-efficient LED bulbs at front and back doors on a timer so lights stay on while you’re gone
Final Walkthrough: Confirm all exits are secure, evaluate security system readiness, and ensure walkways are safe
Advise on mail forwarding
Common feedback includes:
“I left knowing the house was safe and locked down.”
“My energy bills came back lower than I expected.”
“You caught things I didn’t even think of.”

Going away shouldn’t mean worrying about what you left behind. This visit makes your absence stress-free and your return smooth.

Let me take care of your home so you can truly enjoy your time away.
Secure your home, protect your systems, and minimize cost when you’ll be away for months.
Planning to be gone for several weeks or months? This service ensures that your home is safely “paused” while you're away; water, gas, and power are managed, safety systems are checked, and your home is ready for you on your return.
Full utility shutdown: I’ll turn off your main water supply, close gas valves to appliances, and disable selected electrical circuits (while leaving essential systems on, like your security system)
Water system protection: Faucets will be opened to release pressure, and drains will be plugged to prevent p-trap evaporation and sewer gases. Drain traps drying out can lead to plumbing issues
Water heater safety: We’ll turn off your gas or power to the water heater entirely or set it to “vacation mode,” minimizing energy use while keeping the tank stable
Alarm & safety system checks: Test smoke and CO detectors, confirm fire extinguishers (if present), and make sure all exits are secure and clear
Climate control setup: Adjust your thermostat for optimal energy savings
Window & hatch security: Ensure all windows, attic or crawl space hatches, and exterior access points are locked and secured.
Exterior lighting: Install energy-efficient LED bulbs at entryways so lights can remain on during your absence
Power drain minimization: Turn off unnecessary devices and circuits, leaving only essential loads (security, a few lights, etc.) active
Mail & plant guidance: Recommend or install automatic plant watering systems; offer mailing or forwarding advice so your property looks cared for and lived-in
Feedback often includes:
“It’s a huge relief knowing the house isn’t wasting energy.”
“I love that water and gas are safely shut off.”
“This helped prevent small problems from turning into big ones while I was gone.”
“No nasty surprises when I return.”
Going away for an extended time shouldn’t mean leaving risks behind. With this service, your home is protected, efficient, and ready for your return.
If you’re planning a multi-week or multi-month absence, I’d be happy to make sure your home is safe, optimized, and at peace when you leave and ready when you come home.

“It was comforting knowing everything was checked and working before we walked back in.”
“No more cold house, stale water, or guessing what to turn back on—worth every penny.”
