Go ahead and make this switch. Make the switch on your thermostat. It is that time of year of the spring fixing to be warm. We have a few more days of, you know, cool evenings, kind of warmer days before it gets into 80s and 70s during the day. So go ahead and either make a note or make it to switch now on your thermostat. Make sure it is set on auto. I would set my thermostat on auto. If you want to go and switch to cool. You're probably not going to need too much heat these cooler nights. But just in case, I love keeping my thermostat on auto. That way, if it needs heat, it activates. If it needs cooling, it activates. It's always a good place to be, not having to play with that thermostat and go back and forth depending on the weather because you know it's going to be stuffy when I get home. If it's warmer, it's going to be chilly when I get up. If it's cooler. I like to be comfortable. And you work hard, you work hard. You deserve to be comfortable in your home. So don't worry about, you know, energy uses, energy bills. I mean, we're talking about what, a couple, A couple of dollars, maybe, possibly, maybe a little more now today than ever. Maybe it's a little bit more. But I mean, what are we talking about, you know, swinging it out or putting on more blankets? So keep your home comfortable. Go and make the switch.
Switch your thermostat over to auto if.
It'S on heating, or make a note to switch on cooling when it starts getting warmer pretty soon. So make that note. Go and do it. You will thank me later because you're not having to go back and forth or remember, did I do this to the thermostat, that I set it right? Even better on every installation we do with the new system. And we can offer this when we come to your home for the summer. Cool spectacular or things like that. We can offer you a WI Fi thermostat even better. It's an app you put on your phone no matter where you are. As long as you have WI fi at home and WI Fi where you are, you can access it, access the outdoor feature and change the temperature whenever you want. Actually, the biggest. It's funny because the biggest. One of the biggest uses we've seen. You know, I was thinking about this when we started implementing. I was thinking, you know, people, you know, at work or on the way home can adjust it and have it ready to go, save some time, be comfortable when they get home. But the biggest use is actually people at home using the app versus going to the thermostat, looking at it or changing it. So that was, that was a discovery we made pretty soon after. You know, folks were just, you know, staying put or staying in a separate room. So versus going to the thermostat, they're actually going on their on their iPhone or smartphone iPad that changed temperature. But it's the time of year. You know, cool days, cool nights, warm days, some cooler days, but cool nights, warm days. Before you know it, it's gonna be summertime to go and activate that cooling and go ahead and make that change on your thermostat. So you're not surprised when it gets 80 something degrees and you need cooling and nothing happens.
