Hey all! I was wondering if anyone had any issues with pipes freezing. I have baseboard (hot water) heat upstairs. The temp is 70-74 deg all the time upstairs. My attic is the issue....pipes are insulated, but some outside walls are not that well insulated. As long as I have the heat on I dont have an issue...that is when heating with just the boiler via hot water. I have never heated my home exclusivly with the stove and dont know what to expect. I checked the other day in the attic and the temp was 40 deg on a 18 deg night.
I try to cycle the heat upstairs by setting my thermostat to 80 deg for about five minutes. This gets the water flowing in the pipes in case any ice is forming. This is good when I am home....lol or not passed out in front of my second wife....my stove. LOL
