I think the key here is that a few dollars saved could potentially lead to a lot of money in repairs.

You'd really have to know where your pipes are and how the heat will get to them. In my downstairs bathroom, for example, the pipes are run through the exterior wall. This isn't an issue at all when using the baseboard heating system because the wall stays warm and keeps the pipes from freezing.

When we lose power for a while and rely on the wood stove, though, I need to make sure the water trickles a bit because the wood stove doesn't heat the outside wall like the baseboards.
