Spray the thermostat.

The air that comes out is very cold and will fool the t-stat into turning on.

I had one these bad boys in my first house I bought, built in 1940's. Replaced it, regretted it because than you have to mess with batteries (no electrical wire - just signal). Also felt like the old one was just more accurate. But you can't program them.
