Paul, I don't read if the heat is being turned down as well as being closed, but during the 80's gas shortage and energy crisis I found that our HVAC supply line was on the same one that supplied the Art Museum. Somehow I was lucky as the powers that be were easily sold on keeping the system on for paintings, but not very impressed with $2million of pianos. Just a shivering word of concern from the below zero frozen tundra.
