And that's just not the cooling - it includes hot water, clothes dryer, kitchen range, freezer that is in the hot garage - anything and everything that is electric.
Our house is 2750 sq feet, it has 3 zones for the a/c but if i don't turn them all on it doesn't work right. I think our rates are pretty high here.
We also run a pool pump but I don't think it costs too much to run that.
