What about the power failure issue? We've seen plenty of week long outages over the past 10 years. What do you do when you are 1000 miles away from your house, it is 10 degrees and the power has been out for three days? You have to leave the house able to freeze, even if you are heating it to 50. Backup heat using a non-electric source might give you a few days cushion, but you'd be nervous.
