We lock our home up 1 to 2 months at a time in winter and summer, and other months in-between. We live in a guard gated community where security is pretty tight. Lots of residents here leave their homes empty for 6 months. We continue to leave water and gas running because we have a pool. One time we turned the water off, my pool guy had to manually fill the water in the pool so that was not a good idea. We do have friends that we can rely on to get into our home if necessary as we can unlock the home remotely for them to get in.
