Airbnb, how to keep pipes from freezing during winter?
Need suggestions on how to keep my pipes from freezing. Yes, I have hose covers. But house does not have central heat. It has wall natural gas heaters. I feel it is a safety hazard to leave them on for a week at a time with no one there. Below is the link of what types of heaters they are. But if I don't have a heat source, the house will freeze and the pipes with it. What would you do? I also attached a link to my listing. Any suggestions are appreciated.

It's a STR or a house. Airbnb is just a listing platform.
Leave the water dripping to prevent freezing.
You can also buy heat trace tape that you wrap around the pipes to keep them warm.
