Power factor correcting capicitors?

is it too complicated to to use pfcc<p>i have several sodium and mercury lamp fixtures here,, and they all show that the use of a pfcc can cut down the current a lot,, most of these are connected across the input ( 120v )<p>i was thinking if i can use such caps on other appliances in my home...like well pump /
air conditioner / or anything that uses a lot of current... i do not think they whould help on a resistive load..but maybe can on a induction load,,as in motors and transformers,,ballast...
is this feasiable? and is it too complicated to figgure out what size cap to use?
and anyone shed some light on this so i can have a idea...i need to get my electric bill down !...lol
3 window a/c's and a well these are all 220v, too
