Our furnace is not working. Inside house temp. is 52. Low temp tonight will be around 12. Is it better to keep the faucets dripping overnight or drain the water pipes? We've been without for 20 hours.
Thanks

Both a pretty drastic measures, do you have a stove and is the blower on the firnace operational?

Drain the pipe unless you can keep the temperature above freezing.

Way more to it if you are letting the house freeze up. You have traps, toilet, toilet tanks, water filters, water heater, etc... Let's think of how to keep the place from freezing. However the poster needs to come back.

Ball, you got that right! Lets start by getting some temp heat in there. Letting the faucets run at a dribble will help also, but without heat, you run the risk of freezing up a sewer line, uuuhhgg! If you are in a trailer house, heat in the living area won't do any good without circulating that heat through the ductwork in the belly of the trailer. So, as Ball asked, is the blower on you furnace still functional? If so, set up some electric heaters, turn on an oven and open the door, find a heat source, and fast. Use the fan blower to help circulate the heater around the dwelling. Do whatever it takes to keep from freezing the place up until you can get the standard heat back on, or risk literally thousands of dollars worth of damage.
