  <h3 style="margin-top: 0;">❄️🌡️ Heating &amp; Air Conditioning Guidelines</h3>
  <p>To help keep Oak Haus comfortable and running smoothly:</p>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>Do not open windows on humid/moist days</strong> — excess moisture can cause the doors to swell and become harder to open, and it also makes the AC work harder.</li>
    <li>On <strong>cool, sunny days</strong>, you may open the windows for fresh air instead of running the AC.</li>
    <li>Avoid running ceiling fans at <strong>high speed for long periods</strong> — gentle circulation is best.</li>
    <li>Always <strong>turn off the heat or AC when leaving the apartment</strong>, and be sure to close all windows if the air is on.</li>
    <li>For heating, please keep the thermostat <strong>no higher than 74°F</strong>.</li>
