On saving AC power, the main power consumer is the compressor and the higher the head pressure the more electricity it takes to pump the freon.
Had a friend with a swimming pool which needed a heater to keep the water usable.
He gets a roll of 3/4" soft copper and runs his high pressure liquid line from the condenser through it to cool it off. The pool water from his circulation pump that did go through his heater, was diverted and sent through the new tube to cool the condensed freon liquid, heating the water in the process.
This lowered the temperature of the liquid fed to the expansion valve and lowered the temperature of the gas entering the evaporator.
Since the evaporator and condenser have roughly a 30 degree fall and rise, the evaporator was cooler, the gas leaving it was cooler, the inlet to the compressor was cooler, the inlet to the condenser was cooler so the head pressure was lower and the power required to cool the house dropped as did his light bill.....and he didn't have to run a heater on his pool.....which, if you have one, still needs some heat in the summer.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
