This will be my first time SB ing and I was thinking about what to leave the heat set at when gone. I was thinking leaving the heat pump at 50-55. Water and everything else will be off and unplugged. House is on a standby generator.
My In-Laws were Winter Texans for many years and turned their heat completely off. They blew out the water lines, put anti freeze in the traps, took everything out that could freeze and burst and turned off the power. They never had any damage due to lack of heat. When we retire in a few years that's what I intend to do as well with the exception of leaving on the power for security lighting. Our power company is so unpredictable we wouldn't dare leave the home without winterizing it.
