I have a house that is unoccupied. The existing heating is an oil burning fire in the lounge with a big plastic oil tank in the garden. This has been turned off for about 6 months. I now think that I should have a little bit of heating in the the house to prevent frost/ice damage of the pipes. It's an insurance requirement.
Don't like the idea of lighting the the oil burner (very old probably installed in the early 70's) since I only visit the house once a week.
Have been considering using a number of oil filled radiators on a timer to provide a bit of background heat. Hopefully stop the internal temperature from dropping below 10 Deg C.
Should I feel confident about leaving them unattended for a week?
