in mine, the hwh and washer line run in the back of the closet, under the rugged box.
In really cold weather (16 degrees) I had good luck running the furnace- set at 65, a space heater by the water pump, and I keep the closet door open, and well as remove the indoor access panel to the hwh.
I change my hwh to a Truma- so I set it to maintain temperature, rather than on demand.
You need to be very careful when putting heat tape on plastic water lines. Make sure the tape is rated for plastic- Usually self regulating tapes are.
