Hi, I need to leave my Victorian house empty for three months during winter.
The insurance company requires that I keep the temp at a min of 15C, OK so I need to leave the conventional boiler on.
I will insulate the boiler condensate pipe and the pipe to the single outside tap. Never had any problems with them, but cheap and easy to do.
I will turn off the water at the stopcock and also where it goes into the hot water tank, then open all hot and cold taps to relieve pressure.
I will have a person check the house once a week.
Anything else should I do regarding the plumbing and heating?
Thanks!
