Tina, that is one way to go, I assume you mean someone who lives at the house. I would make sure it is someone you trust, especially with a new house.
I have a winterized house here. I leave the heat running set to 50 or 55. I also installed outside video cams so that I can check on the plowing, dock, etc. via the internet. Finally I have a system that can turn on and off selected electrical circuits and heat over the internet. I can see the temp inside and outside the house from 100 miles away and can turn up the heat before I drive up. It is much easier to install the wiring for these things while the house is being built vs after, but either way it can be done.
