Post Your Answer To The Question Above:
| Answer: Hi Terry. Turning your water heater down while you're away is a good, safe and energy-efficient, idea, and should not cause pipes to freeze. To prevent pipes from freezing, turn off all running water from the outside and all non-essential appliances. Also, wrap your pipes with heating tape and insulate unfinished rooms that have exposed pipes. Keep your thermostat on 55 degrees. Last, see if a friend can watch your house while you're away, especially on very cold days. (S)he should check pipes, the house's warmth, on each day that it is very cold. I recently did this for a friend who went away for 10 days - thankfully, the house remained unfrozen. |
