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.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
