C/H in an empty house
I'm leaving for a new job 200 miles away. I haven't yet sold my
house, so I'm going to have to leave it empty for a while. What should I do with the central heating? It's a standard boiler fed from a header tank, with a pump, radiators, a hot water tank and a three-way valve. I presume turning everything off entirely is not a good idea? I thought of leaving the heating setting to 'On' permanently and setting the room stat to low, just in case we get a late frost. Should I also set the hot water to come on for a few minutes, just to keep the three-way valve turning, and also to ensure that the boiler does fire up at least once a day? With the C/H running, I can't turn off the gas or electric. What about the water? -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?" |
