leaving the stick and brick for the summer
We recently moved to Las Vegas and are planning to leave for 2-3 months for the summer. What temperature is advised to leave the AC on? We dont want the house to melt LOL before we get back.

While ferndale has an interesting take on the care of his personal possessions, I've seen or known of a couple too many of the typical/cheap toilet/sink valves failing to not at least do something as simple as spending 2 minutes to turn off the water if leaving it unattended for a long time.
But generally seen it due to freezing.
To ferndale's point, what is a long time? You could have enough damage if a line broke 1 minute after you went to sleep at night, until you woke up in the morning.
A simple vacation or weekend away, same scenario could as well.
So again to his point, does it really matter? Damage will be similar, but how long it goes un checked is more the issue, IMO.
All good points though on winterizing or summerizing a home.
