So....when I go to Weatherbug.com, it says that central Mass. could get down to -50 F this weekend with the wind chill.
I was thinking of shutting down the pellet stove and using oil heat for the weekend so the heating pipes don't freeze. I have heard of hot water heating pipes freezing from lack of use in the winter. I never use the oil, except for hot water.
If I leave the pellet stove on, the heat may never come on. I don't know what to do, as I hate to use oil, only as a last resort.
Any opinions or experience with this scenario???
