Yikes - you must have some outrageous electric rates. This is an all electric house (about 2350 sq ft) and has a 3 ton central a.c. and a smaller heat pump/a.c. unit in the area of the 3 room addition. Total electric bill in the heat of summer never runs us that much. 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.
