You do not need to keep the house at 90 when you are away. Even if you set it at 95, it would still use a lot of energy.
The drains will not dry out in 3 months, even in 100F air. If you are 'really' worried about them, then a tablespoon of cooking oil in each trap will float on top of the water and keep it from evaporating.
Do you have any friends who can watch your place for you? Turn on a few lights now and again? I guess you can put a few lights on timers to go off at 10 pm, and keep the house looking lived in.
If your air conditioner is on the ground, wash it once in a while. It will keep working better that way. If on the roof, get someone much younger to wash it each spring, before the HVAC techs become to busy, and change the air filter about 3 times a year.
Good luck!

good idea about the cooking oil, that i will do.. have no neighbors here. just moved here and have about 4 acres so no one is near us to ask for help watching the place.
what are u recomending about the A/C? not to leave it on at all?
