For the previous 7 yrs we heated our house to 50 degrees. This was the first year we had a plumber shut down the house. While a year ago was mild, this winter was severe; and it cost us about 1/2 in plumbing costs than it would've in heating oil. Next year will be less as the anti-freeze in the lines will remain and won't have to be replaced. As an aside, we had to get out of Dodge quickly D3c 28 and didn't have time to remove all the liquids in our house ..... not a single incident of exploding container has yet been found. Camp on!
