HVAC frozen up (literally!)

[Woodsong]

Woody,
Yes, I keep the cabin heat on to keep the FW pipes from freezing. I can't decide which is better- using space heaters which I hear about starting fires all the time, or the main cabin HVAC and hoping it doesn't freeze over. It happened that one time but it hasn't happened again. We had a cold snap where it didn't get above freezing for 4-5 days and I think that is what did it, plus the abnormally cold water. Right now both units are cranking out a nice 71 degree heat though and I am cozy as could be at the moment.

If you use her year round then I guess you don't want pink liguid running in your pipes!

Spring is just around the corner!

There are heat tapes that can wrap the exposed pipes , thermostat controlled so no waisted electric,
