    As long as it doesn't leak when it's cold. I assume they use it for domestic hot water too?
    The only drawback is it may take a good half hour to get hot water for a shower when they turn it back on.
    If it were me, I'd make sure they have a low water cut-off.
    When no heat is needed, I routinely turn my boiler off when I go on vacation.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
