Vacation Home Monitoring in Lake Ariel
This is the system we recommend before any other in a house that is empty November through March. A single frozen pipe here routinely runs past $40,000 in remediation, and a monitoring package is a fraction of one winter's deductible.
Gated lake developments
These homes are used seasonally and are frequently the furthest thing from their owners' minds in February. Monitoring changes that: you find out on Tuesday that the furnace quit rather than on Saturday when you arrive. We also set up an escalation list, because a 2 AM alert is only useful if somebody nearby gets called when you do not answer.
Local conditions
What this looks like in Lake Ariel.
The housing here
Mostly ranch and chalet-style homes on wooded lots, many built between the 1970s and 1990s. Panel capacity and the absence of a neutral in older switch boxes are the two constraints that come up most.
Connectivity
Community-wide cable service in most of the developments, adequate for a well-designed network but rarely for the equipment it arrives with.
Why owners here buy it
Weekend and seasonal use dominates. Keyless entry for family and cleaners, lighting that runs itself, and freeze protection are the three requests that come up on nearly every call.

Questions
Monitoring questions from Lake Ariel homeowners
Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.
Do you install vacation home monitoring in Lake Ariel?
Yes. Lake Ariel is part of our regular service area and we work throughout Wayne County, including The Hideout, Lake Ariel, Hemlock Farms area. We are based in Pocono Pines, so this is work we do ourselves rather than subcontract.
What happens if the power goes out?
The hub has battery backup and cellular failover, so a power-loss alert still reaches you when both the electricity and the internet are gone. That is the moment you most need to hear from the house.
Can it shut the water off by itself?
Yes. A motorized valve on the main closes automatically when a leak sensor trips. It is the single most valuable device in the package.
