to heat or not to heat

mma75 · 09-06-2005, 07:17 PM

I have been a long time vistor to the lake and recently purchased a new home. This is our first winter. We plan to use the home during 3 seasons, but remain away in winter. I have read many interesting posts on winterizing, but have not read many comments on whether to leave the heat on in a new home, at minimium tempertures. Yes, I am aware of low temp thermostats.

We love our new home, but the fuel price is going to be tough. Any thoughts, recommondatios or experiences with wallboard, wood floors, appliances, etc during extreme temps.

Thanks.
