Home Winterization - Long Term

bigdog · 02-13-2015, 02:35 PM

After this brutal winter I'm thinking of heading South next Feb & Mar 2016.

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!
