So i own a rental property in Cleveland, Oh. It's a side by side unit with 1 of the units vacant.. It's been about 2 degrees here for the last few days. About a month ago i went into the unit and turned on all the faucets... then shut off the water to the vacant side. Next i turned on the basement faucets to "bleed" the system of water. I poured antifreeze in the toilets and down all the drains. My question is the temp in the house was 28 yesterday and i noticed that the kitchen faucet (which is close to an outside wall) had frozen handles. I really don't want to turn the heat on at all b/c even if i leave it a 50.. my bill will still be at least 200 bucks a month. I inspected the pipes and didn't see any bursts... but i know they will be hard to see. Am i doing the right thing here??... Im fine with the pipes freezing, as long as they don't burst. What do you think. I didn't use a compressor to get all the water out. Can the residual amount of water left in the pipes be a problem for me? Thanks so much!!
