Weather Strip All Door and Windows

Close all unnecessary openings. Fireplace dampers, doors and windows.
Set thermostat to 780 F.
Use kitchen and exhaust fans sparingly.

Maintenance and Operation

A dusty filter reduces air flow. Once a month you should check your filters and replace when necessary.
Room units should be covered or removed and stored in the winter.
Check for clogged drain channels.
Holes in the seal between the air conditioner and the window frame allows cool air to escape from your home.
Coils can become clogged.  Use a vacuum for the interior heat exchanger and a garden hose for the exterior.
Install a timer for when you are away, the until turns on a half hour before you return.
Make sure furniture does not obstruct air conditioning vents.
Make sure central air conditioning ducts are properly insulated
