[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, pp, you keep your house at 72??? I don't think people are saying they go away for weeks and keep the house at 72 while they are gone. I think they re saying more like they turn the heat to 62 and the ac to 77. We never turned the water off in my old house growing up but it sounds like a Good idea. I wonder why we didn't ? We had radiator heat, does that need water to work? [b]We did leave several taps dripping.[/b][/quote] You are the second person here that's mentioned this, I haven't heard of this before, why is this done?[/quote] People do this so that the water doesn't freeze in the pipes. When we shut off the water, we open the faucets a bit so that whatever is in the lines will drain. However, in DC, it is true that frozen pipes are the least of your worries. Leaks and burst pipes are by far more likely.[/quote]
