You'd have to winterize the summer house really well when you left it for the winter house. And for either house you probably don't want to turn the heat/AC completely off, anyway. Modern house interiors aren't built to survive huge temperature and humidity swings. Your finishes will fall apart fast and the winter house will have serious mold problems, if you totally shut off heating and cooling.
- Gravityloss 4y agoWe have had a summer cottage for 30 years and we let it just freeze every year. It has electricity, TV, etc. No problems whatsoever so far. Normal water pipes are drained before leaving in the fall. We leave a little bit of heat in the bathroom with most of the critical stuff like boiler, washer, toilet seat and the (well insulated) waste water pipe to the tank.
