Travel should be about enjoying yourself, not worrying about what’s happening back home. Yet many homeowners feel uneasy leaving their house unattended, wondering if a leak, a power outage, or even a break-in could undo their peace of mind.
The good news is that your home doesn’t have to sit vulnerable while you’re away. With the right planning and support, you can make your home work for you — protecting itself, alerting you to issues, and even showing signs of life to the outside world.
At Good Company, we support travelers in two key ways: through smart home automation and detection upgrades, and through our Away Care Plan. Together, they give you confidence that your home is secure, maintained, and cared for, whether you’re gone for a week or a season.
Smart home automation and detection
Technology can act as your first line of defense while you’re away. We help homeowners prepare by installing:
- Security cameras and doorbell cameras to monitor visitors or deliveries remotely.
- Remote access control systems so you can lock, unlock, and check doors from anywhere.
- Moisture detectors and automatic shut-off valves (installed with help from a licensed plumber) to prevent costly water damage.
- Smart lighting and timers to make the home look occupied.
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with alerts sent directly to your phone.
These systems give you eyes and ears on your property 24/7. Many problems can be stopped in their tracks with the right alerts and safeguards in place.
Our Away Care Plan
Even the smartest tech can’t take out the garbage or shovel a snowy walkway. That’s where our Away Care Plan comes in. We provide regular visits to keep your home looking lived in and to handle the little things that matter.
We can:
- Collect mail, newspapers, and packages
- Adjust lights and blinds
- Water plants and gardens
- Take care of garbage and recycling days
- Do walk-through inspections to check for leaks, storm damage, or security concerns
- Handle seasonal needs like snow removal or lawn care
Every visit is documented with simple notes or photos, giving you full transparency and peace of mind.
The best of both worlds
When you combine smart home systems with in-person Away Care visits, you cover all the bases. Technology alerts you to issues as they arise, while a trusted professional makes sure the physical details are taken care of. Together, they give you the freedom to travel knowing your home is protected from risks both big and small.
Travel with confidence
Your home should be an asset, not a source of stress. By preparing with Good Company, you can travel knowing your house is being monitored, maintained, and cared for. From proactive installations to personalized Away Care visits, we make sure your home works for you — even when you’re not there.
One call, and you can head out the door with peace of mind.
