Will a heater in the living space protect the water lines and tanks?
No.
It will when you set the furnace to running fan only.
Leave the cabinet doors open and this heater will keep the pipes from freezing pending no electrical outage. The basement will be warmed a little through the warmth on the floor. If you setup a small fan to circulate warmed air into the basement, it will be protected from freezing. There are limitations to everything. The only for sure way to guarantee no freezing is to completely drain AND blow out the system. Perhaps pour RV antifreeze into the gray and black tanks.
