Season
Before winter
Before summer
Preparation — Done: 0/6

☐ Bleed radiators, check valves
☐ Insulate hot water/heating pipes in unheated zones
☐ Boiler/heat pump service before the season
☐ Program timers for night hours

Season habits
• Curtains/rugs — free insulation
• Doors to unheated rooms — closed
• Radiators unblocked by furniture/curtains
• 40–60% humidity — feels warm at lower temps
