I know it may seem obvious what to do but as both my parents are due to go to Australia to stay with my brother for 2 months (so they will be there December and January) what is the best as regards frozen pipes etc. I am just concerned as our weather has now drastically changed for the worse. I can only get to their home twice a week to check things and they do have good neighbours but should I.......
1) Set the central heating timer to come on at set times to keep the place and pipes from freezing and the chance of possible leaks.
OR
2) Turn the boiler off, and the water off.
There will timers for lights and their home is alarmed but this freezing weather is making me worry that I may get there one day and the place will be flooded.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
