But I aplogize for this, but I'm afraid I left out one bit of information about my house which might have some bearing on what should be done before I leave for my holidays. I forgot to mention that I have in-floor/radiant floor heating system in my basement concrete floor that has plastic pipes with hot water running through them. Is your basement below ground and the floor below frost level? If so, the floor will not get below freezing temps so it should be OK, even if it shut off. OK, that's good to know. Thanks. |

If you are going to be away from home during "the normal heating season", you really should check with your insurance agent/broker to see what, if anything, you need to do to ensure that your insurance remains valid. Often there are requirements that a competent adult check the house once a day or once every few days during the normal heating season. If this is not done and there is a loss, it may not be covered. |
