We intend on winterizing our Michigan home just because even minimal heating is extremely costly.
Sorry, but this makes no sense whatsoever to me. :? I can't imagine leaving our house for extended periods of time and not having it sufficiently heated that interior temps would always remain well above the freezing point ... at the very least I would have thought home insurance policies would require it. How "costly" could it be to maintain a reasonable interior temperature for perhaps 4 months during the coldest winter months? :h
