Why Thermostat Checks Matter During Every Home Watch Visit
When you’re away from home—whether for a long weekend or an entire season—you want peace of mind knowing everything inside your house is exactly as it should be. One of the simplest but most important parts of our Snowbird Home Watch service is something clients consistently appreciate: we photograph your thermostat at every single visit.
It may sound small, but it makes a big difference.
Why Temperature Monitoring Matters
In Minnesota, where temperatures can shift quickly and dramatically, maintaining the right indoor temperature is essential. A sudden dip could put your home at risk of frozen pipes or HVAC issues. A home that’s too warm or humid can also lead to unnecessary energy costs or even mold concerns.
This is why a reliable home watch service does more than just glance around your property—we verify and document the numbers that matter.
Photo Documentation = Peace of Mind
With every visit, we take a clear photo of your thermostat so you can:
See the exact temperature and settings in real time
Confirm your HVAC system is running as it should
Have visual documentation for your own records
This step is especially valuable for homeowners who don’t have a smart thermostat or who prefer an extra layer of reassurance.
Double-Checking With a Temperature Monitor
If something feels off—or if the thermostat reading raises any questions—we also carry a calibrated temperature monitor to verify the actual indoor temperature.
This provides:
Accurate, independent confirmation
Early detection of HVAC malfunctions
Protection against costly issues like frozen pipes
It’s one more way we ensure that when you’re away, your home stays safe, stable, and exactly as you left it.
The Reliability You Expect From a Professional House Watch Service
At Snowbird Home Watch, our goal is simple: to help you travel confidently, knowing your home is cared for by trained, detail-oriented professionals. Temperature checks are just one part of a thorough, accountable process designed to protect your biggest investment.
