Vacation Home Maintenance
Burt’s Reliable can look after your North Fork summer home while you’re away
During the cold season, most vacation homes on the North Fork either sit empty or have only occasional residents. That’s why nearly 2,000 customers leave their keys with the Burt’s Reliable team—so that we can look after their home during the off-season. This saves them the hassle of making long trips out to their second home.
We’ll prevent winter emergencies and give you peace of mind
Here’s what we do to protect your vacation home from cold-weather damage while you’re away:
- We make sure that your home’s heating oil or kerosene tanks always have sufficient fuel to heat your home during the winter. (You cannot shut the heat off entirely, or you risk frozen pipes.)
- We can winterize your home by shutting down the water, tuning up the equipment and generally keeping your home ready to go when you return in the spring.
- We offer a range of products and services that can help you manage your home worry-free. Call us to find out more.
- Should any problems occur, we will contact you right away.

For further protection, we recommend a Wi-Fi thermostat like the Ecobee, which allows you to control your temperature settings from your smartphone — wherever you are. The Ecobee takes “smart” to a whole new level. Unlike a typical thermostat, which monitors the temperature in a single location (usually a hallway), this system uses multiple sensors throughout your home to monitor the temperature in every room.
