Ideally, your central air-conditioning compressor should be located on a shady side of your house because it has to work a little harder in full sun. Studies show that shading a compressor can shave 1 percent to 2 percent off cooling costs. However, air flow is much more important because it’s the air moving over the compressor’s coils that causes them to give up their heat, and that’s what makes the system work. It’s important to keep fences, shrubs, and anything else that might block airflow at least 24 inches away.

Heat loss through windows represents a significant amount of most heating bills. Some sources estimate that heat loss through windows alone could account to 35 percent of heating bills. In home designs that feature multiple or large windows, it is important to caulk cracks, install clear plastic film to the window trim inside the house or decorate windows for efficiency. Decorating solutions include closed shutters, shades, blinds or lined draperies. For long-range solutions, installing storm windows and doors will eliminate problem drafts.

Thermostats are the simplest way to provide automatic control of heating and cooling loads. Resetting the room thermostats in a building is a simple way to achieve energy savings. As a rule, thermostat settings directly determine the length of the AC refrigeration or heating load cycling time.
