Neither of those things will help much to reduce your electricity cost. The best thing you can do is to add blown-in insulation to the attic space above the conditioned areas, especially if your existing insulation has settled to an inadequate thickness. Some people think adding insulation above unconditioned spaces, like the garage, will save energy, but it really doesn't help much, if at all.
Another idea is to buy a portable AC unit (floor standing) to use in the bedroom at night, so you can reduce the thermostat setting, assuming there is no need to cool the rest of the house.
