Turning your heat off at home while in Florida
I would like to know if its a good idea to turn your heat off and drain the water pipes while in Florida.Will this hurt the foundation and cause problems. Thanks

Last winter, the weather was so harsh without adequate snow cover that the drain for the condensate from our high-efficiency furnace froze. After a lot of furnace runs, that can add up to a lot of water in the basement.
I'm going to dig it up where it comes through the foundation and add exterior insulation.
BTW, quite a few people around here had frozen septic systems too. Ours was probably frozen but there was no one here to use it so it didn't matter.
