Will these cartridges survive winter months of freezing in unoccupied home?

I don't know, but I don't think most cartridges would survive months of freezing.

We use the larger capacity cartridge and have never had a problem with drying but we've not had them last more than about 3 or so years. I would also think you'd want to qualify any answers you receive as the environment in your workspace would definitely have an impact.

My opinion....since they are laser cartridges and use a powder, not liquid ink.....as long as they stay dry, low humidity....they should have very long shelf life.....6-8 years.

really should not freeze just put plenty of salt on them and seal them up and keep refrigerated should last almost a year with proper handling. Freezing weakens the casings.

I have not had an issue with ice or snow. Last winter was very bad and they held up fine. The black foam actually helps with melting. Only issue I have had is will small leaves accumulating on top of the foam. Just keep them clean and you should be OK.

I have open cartridges several times over the past year and have had no problems . I am careful to shake the cartridges as suggested. Since I have almost two full sets not used yet, I hope the expiration date is several years and I expect it to be if cartridges remain sealed inside the plastic wrap..

I'm sure they will... I use them on Rubbermaid storage containers that are kept in the garage where it often reaches single digit temperatures in the winter, and I've yet to have a label fail. I've also used one of the labels on my mailbox where it is exposed to not only subzero temps, but also rain, snow, hail, and the heat of summer... the label looks as good as it did when it was installed a couple years ago. I don't think a freezer will have any impact on the holding power of these labels, but I suppose it might matter what they are stuck to.

I believe these are so cost effective to use, that it would , but why risk any pipes freezing if the cold happened to fast? I would get them, and test themm out to see if they do what you want. I have a garage that i transformed into my master bed room, 2 1/2 car size and they do what we need, we also have the furnace on but it doesn't really blow that strong in there, but were cozy. just make sure you hear the click when you turn it on, the oil needs to heat up. there is no smell at all, my cats lay by it, even if I say no

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

Yes, I have/ Since they are not always available, I buy enough for at last six months and freeze in package. Best for cooking after defrosting, since they soften.

I keep mine from year to year but they are not perin. in our area as they will not survive a freeze.

We have had our set for several years. We live in Texas and most winters are not bad. This past winter was a freezing one. Our set has stayed fine.

These are cold weather resistant. The temperature in my area (Wisconsin) has dropped down into single digits and still worked just fine.

Yes, they can. If you intent to keep them permanently in your freezer, make sure that automatic defrosting system is working well.

I packed up the pump and stored it indoors for the winter. The freezing and thawing will not be good for the unit.

I think they will be just fine. Don't let them get to cold. I think the cold might crack them.

I have had no problem working the tumblers in the cold, it is outside but protected from the elements. I imagine if the tumblers get wet and ice up it could be a problem.
