My Grandparents are much older and since they cannot take the frigid weather anymore and dealing with the snow, they have purchased a small house in FL, this house is the perfect size for them, it is one story and my friend and I do not have to worry about them going up and down the stairs.
They do not like to leave door their original apartment intended so me and a few of my cousins will check on the apartment about twice a week, and i was the easily first person to check the apartment when they left, then while I was walking down the hallway I decided to glance up to the temperature control.
I saw that they turned There are temperature control off. I turn the temperature control back on and set the boiler to 65 degrees, however my buddy and I were supposed to get a bad winter storm with rapidly changing temperatures only staying in to the teens. I was consistently told by my dad and my H5 provider that if you were going away and your apartment is unattended you should keep the boiler on but set the temperature control lower… By keeping the boiler 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 provided my Grandparents a call and told them that it would be much cheaper if they kept the boiler on but turned the temperature control down than having pipes burst and having to hire someone to clean up the mess, they agreed with me.
