Try cycling power like you would your cell phone: turn off the power for a minute, then turn the power back on using your circuit breaker or equipment's on/off switch.

Boilers are more expensive, but you'll need one if you want in-floor / radiant heat. We typically use them for adding in-floor heat to basements, but also often for the whole home. If you're building a home, consider having the tubing for a boiler put down before the concrete, that way you can easily add a boiler and in-floor heat later if desired. Many people don't realize how unusable basements can become in the winter - if there's not zoned ductwork or in-floor heat, the basement will be significantly colder, often a 6 to 8 degree difference from the rest of the home.

No. Covering an air conditioner in the winter can attract mice. At the very most, place a board on top of the air conditioner and place a brick on top to secure it.

It's very important to keep your venting clean. If your clothes are being dried in one cycle, it's probably ok, but if you run a cycle that would normally dry clothes and they're not dry, look at the venting and make sure it's clear of debris. And, even if your clothes are drying normally, it's still a good idea to pull your clothes dryer away from the wall and check the venting every so often.

In Wisconsin, bath fans can be considered a means of exhaust for your house, though they're not the best option. In Minnesota, you are required to have some form of heat recovery venting (HRV) or energy recovery ventilation (ERV) to exchange air.
