Air conditioning units can be real energy hogs in hot summer months. So, this spring take the time to plant shade-giving trees and plants around your HVAC system or window units to get them out of the sun. Cooler air helps the compressors run more efficiently, so any shade you can give them will keep your home comfortable and your wallet a little fatter. And remember to replace the air filters in your cooling system; it's an easy thing to do to keep your system running as efficiently as possible all summer long.
