If you provide heat there is a timeframe and a minimum temperature that must be met.

The only time its not a good season is if the temperature is below zero or there's a blizzard / Noreaster.

I think - One person said to make sure I bring it to room temperature before installing.Also, Cabinets are a little old, thinking about just cleaning them up with some wood polish though - maybe line the insides.  

@Lisa M. given the temperatures outside, assuming it is in DC, you are talking near 100F.

The average high temperature in July, the hottest month, is around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average low temperature in January, the coldest month, is around 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

The seller of the house you are buying doesn't want to start from scratch either, regardless of the market temperature in Vancouver WA. 

The premises should have all doors and windows locked, all flammable liquids stored in a fire approved container, the heat should be turned up to or down to the appropriate temperature, a light should be left on in at least one room to give the appearance the house is occupied. 10.

You could set it to a temperature below what the rest of the house is at so it wouldn't run in theory unless the main heating system couldn't turn on.

January 2017We are now in the 2nd week of January time period, and we were experiencing below freezing temperatures.

@Andrew Wong I would not book an AirBNB without AC for the summer if I saw any reviews complaining about temperature.
