IE...have them turn the fridge on a day early (to make sure it gets COLD....not just showing it runs), have a battery installed to check out the lights, etc, run the furnace, run the A/C, have it hooked up to city water AND double check if the water pump works....by turning off the city water. Also have them start the water heater a day ahead......can you get hot water?? Have propane hooked up......does everything work on the range? Including the oven!

Good luck!
