temperature of heat in the winter

What is the min. that you can put your heating at in the winter so that pipes or flooring isn't soo cold?? I thought I saw/read somewhere 65, that seems high to be the lowest? I do have an old trailer though, I dont know if that makes a difference (1973)? thanks.

Re: moisture in ground under home

bob there is no leak that could be found underneath but as I said, the water runs directly under the home from the side; the water runs straight down the siding underneath which is why I asked about a hang-over added to the roof. I do have some type of grading problem, I think, my sidewalk is lower ...

Re: replace heater ducts??

Greg- "re plumb" you mean replace all the piping- plumbing... water lines... sewer pipes? That is one thing I don't know if I can do or not lol? A friend helps me do all my repairs but not sure how well he knows the above? He does all his own replairs in his house so he probably does!

Re: heating & colling bills??

ok, I will try to get the energy audit done- I think Atlantic City Electric does that- not sure and no I don't have plastic on my windows, I do own my place & I have no idea where or even how to start looking for places or grants to help me winterize anything? Any suggestions on how I would find...

Re: moisture in ground under home

Thanks Greg, but will this stop the mold & mildew from growing under the trailer & onto the belly board? How will that fix the problem if water is still running & sitting under there? I do have vented skirting all around my whole trailer (BESIDES in the front & in the back directly) ...
