Abstract:
A freeze prediction system for components such as one or more water pipes situated in a building. The building may have a heating system, a mechanism with a temperature setting connected to the heating system, and an indoor temperature indicator connected to the thermostat. A call may be made for heat if thermostat setting is greater than an indoor temperature. A check may be made as to whether a call for heat may be answered. Outdoor conditions may be read and accounted for in the system. An expected time may be calculated of a freeze danger. One may determine whether the freeze danger is significant according to the expected time of freeze danger compared to a predetermined time. If the freeze danger is not significant, a regular equipment failed alert may be sent out. If the freeze danger is significant, a pipe freeze warning alert may be sent out.

Claim (Index 1):
A pipe freeze prediction system comprising:\n one or more pipes situated in a building; a heating system for the building; a processor connected to the heating system; a mechanism having a temperature setting for the heating system connected to the processor; an indoor temperature sensor connected to the processor; and a weather information data source connected to the processor; and wherein: a call is made for heat if the temperature setting of the mechanism is more than a temperature on the indoor temperature sensor; one or more sensors for determining outdoor conditions, are connected to the processor; and an alert of freeze danger is provided if the call for heat is unanswered and the outdoor conditions are determined to be freezing according to the one or more sensors and the processor.
