Share Your Swim Space; Clean Air Filters

Share your swim space. Swim at your community pool or fitness center instead of installing a pool of your own. If you already own a pool, consider a solar heating system, which can heat your home water, too, a solar cover or install a timer and set your water circulation at intervals to cut down the energy consumption.

Clean air filters. Check air conditioning filters monthly to either clean or replace them. This will help the unit run more efficiently. Better yet: buy a permanent filter that can be washed and re-used. This will save you money over the long run and keep all those disposable filters out of landfills. If your unit is outdoors, check to make sure the coils are not obstructed by debris, plants or shrubs.
