My boiler died a couple of days ago. To prevent burts pipes etc as there is no heating in the house, and temperatures outside are around zero or less, I've shutoff the mains water supply coming into the house by closing the main valve, and drained all the water (both hot and cold) by running all the taps.
Is this the right thing to do in this case?. Could there be any adverse effect due to this as I think it'll take another week before the boiler gets replaced? (I've moved out for the moment as its impossible to survive the cold!!).
