I looked after an empty house for nearly a year, everything was left on, the
heating on a low setting, nothing went wrong, when I visited for the post
the house was pleasantly warm. This was also excellent for when potential
buyers went round to look.

That sounds a very good point. Empty houses with the heating off can
smell musty very quickly. The radiators kicking in from time to time
will circulate the air.
