you are exactly correct, when pipes freeze, the homeowner is not even aware that the pipe has frozen. Sometimes in cold windy weather it does not take long to get that quick freeze, then it is too late. The heat stops flowing and the pipe splits. Once the weather gets warmer, the water starts to flow, causing much damage,I was in the flooring business for over 30 years and saw many frozen pipe floods, nothing worse as far as damage. Keep the heat at 50 and pay a few more bucks than risk the damage frozen pipes cause.
