When we leave NJ for the winter I do the normal- turn the water off to the 1st and 2nd floor...turn down the temp to 50 degrees and then I also activate 2 tools that help to ensure I am aware of a heating problem:

1. Install the winter watchman temp sensor which will turn on a light when the temp goes below my setting of 45 degrees.

2. Install the Reliance Controls THP202 into my phone line which will dial up to 3 phone numbers when the temperature
goes below 45 degrees. You can also add a water sensor into this system that will also activate phone calls if it detects
a problem.

Both of these can be purchased on-line from Amazon.
