What are the key dates for heating on and off in the seasonal schedule?

On Oct 1; Off Apr 30 On Oct 31; Off May 31 On Nov 1; Off May 31 On Oct 15; Off May 15

Correct Answer:

On Oct 15; Off May 15

Explanation:

Seasonal heating on and off dates are set to provide warmth when cooler weather begins and to stop heating when temperatures stay comfortable, balancing tenant comfort with energy use. Starting in mid-October and ending in mid-May hits that balance in a temperate climate: heat is available as fall cools and winter sets in, then turned off as spring warms and summer approaches. The mid-October start helps cover early cool nights, while the mid-May end avoids heating during late-spring warmth. Other date pairs either start too early or end too late, which wastes energy, or start too late or end too early and risks tenants being without heat during chilly periods.
