It was also a nice thing that my Grandparents turned the water off and this would also prevent any pipes bursting
My Grandparents are much older & since they cannot take the cold weather anymore & dealing with the snow, they have bought a small house in Florida… This house is the perfect size for them, it is one story & my associate and I do not have to worry about them going up & down the stairs. They do not like to leave door their original house intended so me & a few of my cousins will check on the house about twice a week; I was the genuinely first person to check the house when they left; While I was walking down the hallway I decided to glance up to the thermostat. I saw that they turned There are thermostat off. I turn the thermostat back on & set the furnace to 65 degrees! My nice friend and I were supposed to get a exhausting winter time storm with rapidly changing temperatures only staying in to the teens. I was always told by my dad & my H5 provider that if you were going away & your house is unattended you should keep the furnace on but set the thermostat lower, but by keeping the furnace somewhat on this will prevent any pipes that could potentially freeze in your home. It was also a nice thing that my Grandparents turned the water off and this would also prevent any pipes bursting. I gave my Grandparents a call & told them that it would be much cheaper if they kept the furnace on but turned the thermostat down than having pipes burst & having to hire someone to scrub up the mess, they agreed with me.
My Grandparents go down south for the winter, having to turn their furnace on
