Who Home Watch is for

Any Kingston home that will sit empty for more than a few days, and any owner who needs proof that someone is checking it.

Away for the winter

Snowbirds, sabbaticals, long work postings. The house is checked on schedule while you are gone.

Listed and empty

Your home is on the market and you have already moved. Keep it insured and show-ready.

Estate or inherited home

An executor or family member far away needs someone local and accountable.

Under renovation

Between trades the house sits empty. We check heat, water and doors between crews.

Between tenants

A vacancy of a few weeks still counts. Bridge the gap with dated proof.

Your insurer asked for it

Your policy or broker requires checks every 48 or 72 hours. We match the schedule they set.

Why insurers ask for scheduled checks

Many home insurance policies limit or exclude coverage when a home is left vacant or unoccupied, unless someone inspects it on a fixed schedule. In the heating season that is often every 48 or 72 hours. A burst pipe found a week late is a very different claim from one found the same day.

The schedule is only half of it. If you ever make a claim, you need proof the checks happened. Every Home Watch photo carries the date, time and GPS location, and every report lands in your inbox the day of the visit.

Confirm the frequency with your insurer

Policies differ. Ask your insurer or broker how often the home must be checked while it is empty, then choose the plan that matches. We provide the visits and the dated record. We do not give insurance or legal advice, and Home Watch does not change what your policy covers.

What we check every visit

A walk around the outside and through every floor, the same checklist and the same photo angles every time, so changes stand out.

Frequently asked questions

Home Watch, answered

The questions owners ask before they leave a house empty.

Will my insurer accept this?

We provide the record insurers look for: a visit on the schedule you choose and a report with the date, time and GPS location on every photo. Policies differ, so confirm the required frequency with your insurer or broker before you choose a plan.

Who does the visits?

A KEILTY team member. Today that is A.J. Keilty, who has run KEILTY since 2003. The same person, the same checklist and the same photo angles every visit.

What if a visit falls on a holiday?

Visits happen 365 days a year on your schedule, including weekends and holidays.

Can I change plans?

Yes. Switch plans any time from your billing portal. The new plan applies from your next billing date.

How do I cancel?

Give 30 days' written notice from the billing portal or by email. Visits continue until the end of the notice period.

Do you need a key?

We need a way in: a lockbox code, a smart lock code, a key dropped at our office at 300-80 Queen Street, or a key we pick up from someone you name. Codes are stored encrypted.

What areas do you serve?

Kingston postal codes K7K, K7L, K7M, K7N and K7P. Outside that area, send a request from the plan section and we will tell you what we can do.

Is HST included?

No. 13% HST is added to the plan price. The Every 48 Hours plan is $750 a month plus $97.50 HST.

Can my broker or family get the reports too?

Yes. The reports go to you by default, and you can add up to three more people during setup, such as your broker, a family member or a property manager.

Is this a home inspection or a security service?

No. Home Watch is a scheduled visual check with a photo record. It is not a home inspection, a security guard or a monitored alarm, and it does not change what your insurance covers.
