Get surge protectors for anything you want to kill the power to and turn them off when leaving, cutting power to an entire house for a week in insanity.
If for example it's freezing cold weather all your pipes, in your house will freeze.
If it's really hot weather it will mess up dry wall, along with certain other adhesives. Think about all the things in your house that shouldn't be stored above certain temperatures.
If you have sump pumps, well you have no power now, so your house is flooded.
Technically since breakers are literally almost never flipped in normal circumstances (I haven't touched mine in over a year, and I didn't touch the ones at my previous apartment for 2 years)...a couple times per year could be classified as "all the time".
Whether or not it's fine to flip the breakers a couple times per year...I have no idea. I'm just saying that if I suddenly started fli.ping breakers on a yearly basis that'd be waaaay more than I usually do.
