Can folks provide thoughts about this 110AC connection, and if it might be for 'pilot' light ?
Last, should I shut off the gas to the heater, as it does have a shut-off ball valve.
Thoughts about all ?

Are you sure it just wouldn’t be easier to leave your heat on low (45 degrees) and monitor it with a nest thermostat or similar. One mistake and whatever little you think you saved by leaving your heat off goes out the window.
Just a thought...
