Pipes are Frozen. Now What?

I stopped by my rental, that is vacant, yesterday (tue) to check on it. Last time I was there was Sunday, just before the deep freeze. The furnace crapped out sometime during the sub-zero weather and now the house if frozen solid. It had been set at 50 deg.

I turned off the water and opend the 2 valves that would drain. There were no leaks that I could see. Furnace guy is comming over this morning to get that going. It is a 100 year old house with copper on the first floor and pex on the second floor. Should I just warm up the house for a few days and then turn the water on and monitor, or is there some old plumbers trick to reviving a frozen house?

Thanks in adavance!
