There is no single “right” temperature for an unoccupied house in the winter, as different climates and regions may require different strategies. However, you should aim to keep your home at a temperature that will prevent pipes from freezing and other water damage from occurring. This may mean keeping the temperature above 55 degrees Fahrenheit or turning off the water supply until you return to your property. In most cases, it’s also important to ensure that your home is adequately heated when it is unoccupied, as this will prevent damage from occurring if the heating system stops working while you’re away. Some homeowners may even opt to have a company come in and check on their property periodically to ensure it is properly heated and the heating system is functioning properly.
