Most of these ports have some sort of protective cap covering them. Buy an SAE 20 product that is lightweight, and then put no more than ten drops into the ports.
  
[http://www.portalidiroma.it/userinfo.php?uid=58749 www.denverheating.org] As the temperature outside drops, remember to turn off your outdoor condenser unit. To avoid damage, units should be turned off when temperatures are below 60 degrees. This will help keep it in good condition for many years.

Look for shade when placing a compressor outdoors. This will limit the work that it has to do.
  
If you are a homeowner, or if you can get permission from your landlord, install double-paned windows in place of any single panes in your home.

As with other steps you take to improve your ability to keep your air conditioned air or heated air inside your home, double-paned windows can help you save on energy costs.

Having a programmable thermostat installed is a money saving idea. Such thermostats help you save around ten percent when it comes to energy costs. Additionally, some programmable thermostats can be controlled remotely using a web-connected device.
  
Never allow the temperature in your home to rise to a dangerously high level. Air conditioners really can only cool a home down about 20 degrees Fahrenheit within a reasonable amount of time. If your home happens to get near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, then you will only be able to reasonably cool to around 80. You may suffer adverse effects from letting the house get that hot, too.
+
Save energy use and money by turning off the air conditioner if there is nobody home. Sure, the temp will rise, but no one is home anyway. Obviously, if you leave your air conditioning set at a low temperature all day long even if you're not home, you'll be paying to maintain that low temperature.
  
Now you will be able to take good care of your HVAC system. Do not avoid the regular servicing your unit requires. Use what you've learned here to keep things working right so you don't get home and find out there's a disaster on your hands.
+
Try finding online A/C sizing calculators to figure out the ideal size for a unit for the house or a room. A unit that is bigger than you need simply isn't efficient. Check your manual to learn what it is rated by the manufacturer if you want accurate information.
