If you can afford to turn on your heat, turn on your heat. It doesn’t have to go up to 75 in the house. But if it’s 35 degrees in your kitchen, your pipes are very much on the brink of freezing. Set it to 45 if you want, but jeez man, a burst pipe is a real problem.

Need to do 55F+ if you have pipes in exterior walls. The inside of those walls is cold as hell and will not be the same temp as your interior.

My upstairs neighbor had the genius idea once of trying to save money by not turning on the heat. I think the water damage to her apt and everyone below was several years' worth of heating oil.
