Acuity Advantage is Proud to Take Part in the First-Ever Canadian Home Watch Month
Acuity Advantage is proud to be part of a milestone for our industry: the first-ever Canadian Home Watch Month. This national initiative, hosted by the Canadian Home Watch Group (CHWG), is dedicated to raising awareness about the value of Home Watch services and the importance of choosing accredited providers you can trust.
What Is Canadian Home Watch Month?
September 2025 marks the launch of Canadian Home Watch Month, an initiative created to bring national attention to a service that many Canadians still do not realize exists, or how critical it can be. Across the country, there are millions of seasonal residences, vacation properties, and homes that sit vacant for extended periods of time. These properties are especially vulnerable to risks such as water damage, electrical failures, pest infestations, vandalism, and extreme weather events. Left undetected, even a small issue can escalate into thousands of dollars in repairs or even insurance claim denials.
Canadian Home Watch Month was established to close this awareness gap. It is a chance to educate homeowners about how professional Home Watch services can serve as their first line of defense, ensuring that someone qualified is regularly checking on their property. It is also a time to highlight the role Home Watch plays in meeting insurance requirements, which often mandate regular inspections of unoccupied homes to maintain coverage.
By creating a dedicated month of recognition, the Canadian Home Watch Group is giving homeowners, insurers, realtors, and estate professionals an opportunity to better understand the proactive benefits of this specialized service. It is about elevating standards, encouraging accountability, and making Home Watch a familiar, trusted term across Canada, so that when property owners leave their homes behind, they can do so with confidence.
About the Canadian Home Watch Group
The Canadian Home Watch Group is the national body that vets, accredits, and supports Home Watch companies throughout Canada. Their mission is to set the highest professional standards for the industry, ensuring homeowners can access reliable, qualified providers wherever they live. By promoting accreditation and education, CHWG is building recognition for Home Watch as a vital safeguard for property owners, whether they are away for weeks, months, or even longer. Their leadership in hosting Canadian Home Watch Month reflects their commitment to protecting homes and strengthening the credibility of the industry nationwide.
Why Home Watch Matters
Home Watch is more than just “checking in” on a property. It is a structured, professional service that involves regular inspections, detailed reporting, and early detection of issues that could otherwise lead to expensive repairs or denied insurance claims. From burst pipes and storm damage to pest infestations and mechanical failures, Certified Home Watch Professionals (CHWP) are trained to identify potential problems before they escalate. Snowbirds, frequent travelers, realtors, and estate executors all rely on Home Watch services to keep properties safe, secure, and compliant with insurance requirements.
