If you're gone for the winter, the best thing to do is shut it down and winterize. Even if you have someone checking it, it can freeze up pretty quickly in a cold snap. It's happened to me at two homes in the past where I was checking on them once a week.
All true. If there is no power what would you want the caretaker to due? We all lose power up in the lakes region. If one steps away for the winter your home must be protected and systems adjusted accordingly. If water cannot be drained and home sealed for the winter months then that’s should be your focus. Not a security system and watchdog
