This short YouTube instructional monologue (by Derek Cole) advises homeowners to use the thermostat to turn off heating and air conditioning under normal circumstances, warns that the electrical panel/breaker should only be accessed by electricians or in true safety-hazard situations, and recommends having a professional inspect the system if the thermostat cannot shut the system off.
Your thermostat should be all you need to do to turn off your heating and air. There is no situation unless it's a safety hazard and you have to go into your panel to turn off the breaker. There's no reason you should be in that panel. That panel is for electricians and trained professionals because it's dangerous. So if you're not using your heating or ac, just go to the thermostat, turn it off. You don't have to turn off here and then go to the panel and then turn off there. If you turn off at the thermostat, that should take care of it. If you're having a problem and it won't turn off at the thermostat and you have to go to the breaker, that is a problem that needs to be checked out. Because you shouldn't be in that panel. It's not made for just an on off switch, if you will, for an appliance or your heating.
