Quick tip for you. Almost made. I almost made this mistake this morning with these really hot temperatures this week in the hundreds. When it's really hot, do not set your temperature on a thermostat back when you leave. Leave it on the set point you want, because it's not going to get to. It's going to struggle. It's going to struggle this time of year with the heat and the humidity. It's gonna be a hundred this week. It's going to struggle. So you don't want to set it back and put it behind when you want. When you get home and you want to be 75, 74, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen maybe until it gets dark, if then. So do not set the temperature back and get it behind. You know, when you leave, set it at one set boiling temperature.
