There is another important issue which may not have occurred to you...
If you have a programmable thermostat with battery backup or a remote battery-operated temperature sensor which reports to the thermostat controlling your furnace or boiler, you must keep the batteries fresh. The recommendation is that you replace your batteries annually, or any time you will be away from your home for an extended period of time.
