This has saved us a couple times from repairs that don't need to be made (flip the circuit breaker) or situations like the days long power failure when they all went home and since we heard from them we could go down to insure the pipes didn't freeze.

This meant I couldn't move in and in order to prevent all of the plumbing from freezing we brought in a torpedo heater and I had to run that to heat the house for 2-3 weeks.

Moreover, judges do just go around freezing attorney trust accounts will nilly.
