mtmtnman said:Out of literally dozens of Fannie Mae REO's i deal with that have boilers i have NEVER been asked to winterize one up here. The brokers in my area ALL activate heat and utilities on REO's as a warm home sells better and faster in the middle of winter and less damages are done, IE: Wood Floor issues in unheated homes. (Just did $1800 work of wood floor repairs on a high end home due to a home not being heated in the middle of winter while in pre-foreclosure.) Yet in other parts of the state the brokers DO NOT activate utilities and winterize the boilers at costs from $800 to $2000!!! That will buy a LOT of heat not to mention the home will move faster! What are y'all seeing in other parts of the country???

When I was growing up in KY I saw plenty of winters with below 0 temps. Thats cold enough to freeze pipes.

Few trees to knock the lines down.
I remember in the early 90s power was out for a full 7 days, some places 8 after a heavy ice storm in KY.
They don't leave heat on nothing here except the REOs. 50/55 is where they set them.
That`s funny we lost are power for an hour during storm. I have lived in Kentucky since 1998 and can only thing of one time we lost power for more than a day (in 1994 ice storm). Last year was the first time I can remember, we had a real winter with snow and freezing temps.BPWY said:Thats incase the electric goes out for a week or two from an ice storm or like right now in the tornado areas.
