I'm not home a lot, no point in heating the house when I'm not home. I can see my breath at about 43, which is why I set it at 45.

have you tried leaving your faucets on at a slow drip?

supposedly, by doing that, you can avoid pipe freeze.

No need to, my pipes don't freeze. Plus I couldn't live with myself if I wasted water like that.

Yeah, I have issues regarding the environment, but I also thought it was beautiful today and it didn't get above freezing. Had on my sunglasses and enjoyed the sunshine.
