If need be, we can plug into shore power easily here on the farm to keep freeze protection active.

Yes, power was all off while the rig was winterized and stored. We have to look further into the outdoor part. Maybe DH is aware and has taken care of it automatically without saying anything to me. I may be the ignorant one.

Thanks for your insights and contribution to our knowledge bank. We're taking lots of notes of all the generous help we are receiving on this forum.
The Girard runs on 12V and not shore power. If you had your Use / Store switch in the Store position, this will also shut off power to the Girard Tankless and you were fine. Just be aware that if you get temps down to freezing levels, you want the power onto the tankless so it heats up and prevents freezing and bursting the copper tubing in the unit.
