if you can't get a furnace to run and the outside temp is in the teens
or lower, what should you do? I'd guess the first thing is to shut off
the water main. Then do you have to open taps in the kitchen and
bathroom? Do you have to open every one a little?

Would all of that insure that pipes won't burst?

Besides that, is there anything else to do? Thanks.

Besides draining all water, flush toilet and put antifreeze in all the
traps. Close the main.Open all faucets and the lowest drain in the
basement. A few space heaters and the oven on will help.
