My girlfriend’s brother has a house on Great Diamond Island a couple miles by ferry from Portland. He hires a handyman to winterize his house, which he leaves unheated all winter. (Are you sure you will NOT lose power for several days in Maine in the winter?) this includes blowing air through the pipes and all that. It’s not hard, but you have to know how and do it in the right order. I think he pays about $200. You can also get a plumber to do it. Many thousands of people in Maine have this done, including those with summer cabins.
