Going away for the holidays. Good idea to turn the main watervalve in the house off?
Turning off your main water is probably a good idea. If the furnace
fails while it's that cold, the pipes will freeze and burst.
I would like to add that if the furnace did fail, even if the water
shut off, the water main can still freeze at the point it comes into
the house ( at the meter). This happened to a friend of mine. So I
would make sure the main pipe is well insulated.
