Plumbing and heating what happens if I turn my heatig off when I am not using it. Is it safe for the house and should I turn the water off also if the house is vacant?

What will happen to your house will depend upon your location. I live in Florida where you can simply turn the heat , power and water off and walk away but I came from Wisconsin where the system must be drained and evacuated,including the water heater, and all the traps filled with cooking oil or anti-freeze, including the toilet. Where do you live? How cold will it get?
Let me know, Tom

Tom's right on the money, it all depends on your climate. If you answer his question you will get a specific answer.
