WE have been travelling for the winter the past 12 years and this works for us...
Put the water heater on vacation...shut off the water at the main valve (for us that is the meter)..3 lamps on timers to turn on and off regularly. Unplug the TV. computer , DVD player ...anything that is not needed to keep the houshold running.
We hire a young fellow to shovel, collect mail & unwanted flyers etc.
All the utilities are on automatic debit at the bank.
So far this has worked.
Good luck and happy trails
