You can turn it down so that it doesn't come on much. If it is a gas heater, the pilot light might provide enough heat to keep it from freezing, but that is not certain. If there is not going to be any heat in the building, the pipes need to be drained, the heater also and anti freeze put in the drains and the toilet. This anti freeze is different than what is used in cars.
