How to Prepare Your AC for Summer Travel
The short answer
If you are leaving town, a quick AC prep routine can reduce waste and help you return to a comfortable home.
Keep moisture control running while away
Turning off cooling entirely in a humid Florida home can allow moisture to build up. Use a sensible away schedule that considers indoor humidity, pets, and the home itself. Test remote thermostat access before leaving, and arrange a local contact if the system reports trouble.
Inspect the basics before departure
Check the filter, look for existing water around the air handler, and confirm the drain has no known problem. Leave service contact details with the person checking your home. A water sensor can provide useful warning, but only if someone can respond to an alert.
