We always shut off the breakers when not there in case of a leak. We had a leak a few weeks ago from a failed fitting the plumber had just installed, had we not turned the breaker off it could have ran all week. We are single story and all plumbing is under the house so no risk inside. We just re-plumbed all with pex.
Rodents (mice and red squirrels) will eat it. Better to stay old school with copper in a seasonal home.
