Temperature setting for thermostats?
We live in Nova Scotia, and go south in the winter. We have electric baseboard heat. Can you tell us what a good temperature would be to leave our thermostats on when our home is unoccupied? Keep in mind we do not shut off or drain our water. Freezing is monitored by a company electronically along with the fire/theft perils.
