Vacation Home Seasonal Closing Checklist — Henefer, Utah

Turn off water main. Open all faucets to drain. Flush toilets and add RV antifreeze to traps and toilet bowls.

For gas: set to pilot or vacation mode. For electric: turn off at the breaker. Drain the tank if the home will be unheated.

Set to 55°F minimum in cold climates when away. Consider a smart thermostat with alerts so you know immediately if the temperature drops.

Remove all perishables, deep-clean surfaces, and prop doors slightly open to prevent mold when leaving a home vacant.

Lock all windows and doors, set timers on lights, and alert neighbors or your property manager before an extended absence.

Unplug TVs, computers, and small appliances to prevent damage from power surges.

Ask a neighbor or hire a property manager to check weekly for leaks, pests, and security.
