Can the Forum give me an idea what I need to do for long term home winterization on my homes. Also what cost may be incurred?
Have two properties:
Residential home - 2 levels - Oil Heat Forced Hot water
Condo-Townhouse - 2 Levels - Oil Heat Forced Hot water
Neither property has anti-freeze in the heating systems.
I really don't want to leave the heat at both locations for 2 months, even if I set to minium 50 degrees. Would be a waste of heat and money !
Thoughts?
Thanks!

5 gallons of glycol $150 (factored in inflation since material cost is consistently rising)
$200 - $300 labor per house depending on whether the house/condo is set up for easy drainage. Note, it's rougher to drain a house in sub zero weather than it is in say, Nov. particularly if your home is on a crawl space.
And the flexible pipe the other gent mentioned is called crosslinked polyethylene, one brand and most commonly know as PEX.
Good luck.
