Energy-saving advice

The Fuel Fund of Maryland has put out more tips as part of its energy-efficiency campaign. Noting that hot weather is just around the corner, the group suggests that you clean or replace your air conditioning filters -- "failing to keep filters maintained can drive monthly bills up and eventually lead to the unit’s death."

The Fuel Fund also recommends getting a tune-up for your air conditioning system.

Have any useful (or amusing) tips for keeping air-conditioning bills down? Chime in.
