Another way to keep the house from freez'n up is with a reliable Rinnai direct vent, propane, heater ..... installed in a central spot, or in the basement .... to keep the house warm ..... when the oil furnace/boiler shuts down .... as oil is more likely to turn itself off due to soot covering the electric eye that watches the flame .... so's you have two separate heat systems, the whole house system plus the small but more reliable Rinnai by propane/natural gas which comes back on with the electric power coming back on.
