HOW TO WINTERIZE a vacant or half occupied home – part 3

(9) Talk to the gas company about disconnecting the gas supply.  Possibly a gas explosion if the pipes freeze.  If gas leak appears has to be fixed, but often happens on the week-end.  (10) make the house appear occupied at a glance.  Set up lights on timers, have landscaping done, if snow then shoveled away.  All of this for non-occupied and occupied homes.  Also will have to be un-winterized on fairly short notice for inspections.  GOOD LUCK ON THE WINTER CHORE OR NECESSITY TO SELL A HOME.
