People do winterize their homes and are successful doing it.
Do go and read your homeowners policy and check the deductibles.
If you have a modern home with modern insulation and up to date doors and windows all could work out fine
Hire a professional plumber to winterize all of the pipes and appliances that use water. Yes, some homeowners are real good at this and don't require a plumber. Are you?
Over the decades, though, I have seen too many issues come up with some that do not heat their 2nd home. Something is always forgotten. I have seen sheetrock split at seams. Jars, cans, bottles break. Toilets break. All repair costs are much more then the fuel savings. Even with insurance. And a continual filing of insurance claims may affect your homeowners insurance rates.
Penny wise and pound foolish.
