Do we enter vacant homes? 

If so, what is the process

In all divisions

  • Tech will enter a vacant home as long as they feel it is safe
  • A lockbox code can be used
  • They can go into a home that is staged to sell (realtor-type situation)
    • Add this notation to the service order: Staged Home 
  • They will not get a key out of a mailbox due to federal laws
  • Please use – Tech will light appliances for the “Inside Work By”

Reminder: The tech will use his discretion to determine if the dwelling is safe to enter and if the appliances are safe to light. In most new construction homes, we do not light the appliances because it can void appliance warranties.
