Other things you have to ensure in your house before winter comes especially if you will not be in it for the entire season:

See to it that exposed pipes in your basements and in the garage are correctly insulated, check them for cracks and leaks. If possible, have your water sytem drained by a trained professional. Remove garden hoses and drain exterior faucets, you can turn off the water supply by using the shut off valve. Prevent your pipes from freezing by setting the thermostat in your house to at least 50 degrees. Apply weather stripping to your doors and replace peeled or cracked caulking on windows.
