To make an air conditioner run more efficiently, you should definitely make sure that the filter in the unit is free from debris, so the fan doesn't have to work as hard to push air through it. In addition, you should make sure that there's no leaks in the system. One of the biggest ways to make it run more efficiently is to increase the temperature that you're trying to cool your house to.
