If you are sure that your central heating runs off oil then yes this is not a problem.
The mains water was off at my house 2 days ago and we could still heat the house with oil. The hot water was not fantastic but it was enough. Also with the weather make sure the water is off and not frozen.....burst pipes are not are nit fun to deal with
good luck :)
no.

If plumbing is not a factor for your gravity fed heating system , then yes.
A central heating programmer is not an occupation, it is a device that operates by time switch and it allows you to turn your hot water on and off manually and allows you to set boiler times.
Not a good idea. Many of those stoves with a water heating coil on the back rely on constant supply of water to prevent overheating the water piping. Without that, you could warp or damage the water coil.
Mr Central Heating specialize in both gas and central heating repair, installation and maintenance. They also off solar panels systems as well as air conditioning installation and service.
Gas central heating boilers work by burning natural gas to produce heat, which is then used to warm water. This heated water is circulated through pipes to radiators or underfloor heating systems throughout the home. A thermostat monitors the indoor temperature and signals the boiler to turn on or off as needed, ensuring efficient heating. The process is typically managed by a control system that optimizes performance and energy use.
I assume you have steam or hot water heat? The heating system is a closed system and shouldn't be affected by the main water being shut off.
Because a central heating model does not have any electrons travelling through wires but have water. If a wire broke in a electric circuit , then if you're not going to turn off the circuit you would get electrecuted. In a central heating system, if it would break water will leak and nothing will hurt you or anything and you won't get electrecuted.
Without knowing what you are trying to do, advice is tricky, but it seems that you have not switched the mains off. In the UK it would be illegal, but there is a slim chance that the cold tap is not connected to the rising main, in which case, that explains the flow, and the tank must be drained
In the winter people used to heat their houses with fires. In modern houses the boiler is a fire that heats water (or air) that is then circulated round the house in pipes to warm the rooms - this is called central heating. If the boiler goes off this removes the source of heat and the central heating can no longer do its job. As a result the hose will lose its heat energy to the outside and gradually cool down.
To turn off your electric water heater, locate the circuit breaker that controls the water heater and switch it to the "off" position. This will cut off power to the water heater and stop it from heating water.
