I think you'd want to know right away that you have a CO leak. You can call in an emergency utilities guy to drain the pipes - the internal insulated ones won't burst within a couple hours. And as the other commenter says, you can almost certainly restart the furnace or cancel this action.

That's assuming the homeowner has decent internet connectivity wherever they are on vacation.
