i've looked in the manufacturer provided booklet for my Trianco Heatmaker LP furnace, but I cannot seem to find any specific info on what to do if the power to the house goes out. Should I shut off the main power switch? Leave it alone? What if I am gone for a week, and the power goes out? So many questions.

Hi:bub3683
Several questions on this end also would need to be known in order to provide a more accurate answer. However, the general basics are the same to which I will address.
If the furnace is a forced hot air unit {with or without A/C doesn't matter} there isn't anything to be concerned about. If the unit is equiped with a pilot flame ignition or an electronic ignition, a power outage will have no effect, except the unit will just not operate during the time of the outage.
If the thermostat is the type with a memory, the battery backup will retain the preselected settings provided the battery is in good condition. Change it more often if your sure when it replaced last.
Based on the information your provided, the above mentioned basics are all there is to be concerned about. If your furnace is not a forced warm air unit, post this question in the heating and cooling forum for answers regarding other types of units.
Do included far more specific and detailed information on the unit type, heating system and thermostat.

the furnance heats the house with forced hot water. the hot water for whole house comes off the furnance. as for my thermostat, it's a generic, run-of-the-mill dial type.

Hi: bub3683
Based upon the updated information you just provided, my suggestion is to contact the heating equipments manufacturer for more detailed and specific information.
I do not claim to be a professional on this type of heating system in all parts of this country. Variations for this type of unit exist based on regional locations.
Based on your discription of the units heating and operating system, the area of the country your located in, the unit must be appropriate.
If the owners instructional manual does not directly address the question you pose, then it is possible to assume an electrical power failures may not be of any major concern for the regional area the units are sold in or installed in.
Electrical power failures or interruptions may not be of any concern to the operational functions of the unit either. The unit simply will not function if there is a lack of power.
For further information prior to your contacting the manufacturer {which I hope you do} I also hope you took my prior suggestion and also posted this question in the heating and cooling forum.
