My home is located in mid-Maryland and am planning to be away from January through March. I've done some reading/research and the typical recommendation I've seen is to set the thermostat at 55 degrees.
Is there any particular reason I couldn't safely set the thermostat to a lower temperature - perhaps 45 degrees for energy savings?
What might you recommend?
I am not a winterizing expert by any means, and have more research to do, but planning on at least the following:
Main water valve inside the home will be turned off and inside/outside faucets left open a bit to drain.
P-traps filled with RV antifreeze to prevent evaporation, possible freezing, etc.
Bleach added to toilets and covered tightly with plastic wrap.
