If you shut off the water main, and then open both faucets on the laundry
sink in the cellar, there won't be any pressure in the system. So, you won't
have to shut off the water supply to the water heater. D'uh.

Unless you meant something different like shut off the electric or natural
gas source of heat.

Make sure you shut off the water heater before you shut off the water.
Open the highest and lowest valves to allow the water to drain from the
pipes.
