This question might help (but not very much). And note, that and other questions ask about plumbing a combi boiler with the DHW pipes capped. In your case they would not be capped, and may or may not contain water under unknown pressure. | |

Why do you need to keep the house at a minimum temperature if you empty all the pipes (heating included). These two things are closely related, and you seem to be tying your hands by separating them. | |
