Thermostat & Comfort Habit Planner Checklist
0/12Call emergency services for burning smell, sparks, shock, extreme temperature danger, or medical device concern
Call qualified HVAC/electrical help for breaker tripping repeatedly or blank/unresponsive thermostat
Do NOT attempt to replace, rewire, or open thermostat wiring
Avoid frequent large thermostat changes — a steady setting is generally more consistent
Avoid setting thermostat very low or very high expecting faster results
Use fans to support air circulation — not as a replacement for AC or heat
Close blinds on sun-facing windows to reduce cooling demand
Note what temperature consistently feels comfortable and aim for that setting
Document discomfort patterns: time, rooms, outdoor temperature, thermostat setting
For seniors or medical device users: maintain safe temperatures with a backup plan
No savings are guaranteed — these are awareness habit reminders only
Call a qualified HVAC technician if system cannot maintain comfortable temperatures
