i guess if you have a large house with a/c, pool and jacuzzi etc it could be costly to run..
personally i am waiting for better tax incentives to proceed..and i am looking at solar panels, wind is great but typically the wind turbines are huge and not really practical for a regular residence..

Sadly Mine is even cheaper than that. I pay bi monthly and the average is about 130$ for 2 months. In the summer it will hit about 250 to 300 for 2 months.
But why pay the electric company unless you MUST.

Anyway, I have no idea. The guy I bought the house from had added a new AC unit a year before I bought it, I gave the solar guy the paperwork for it and told him I wanted enough power to keep my house ice cold all summer and not pay for it.
My roof is slanted N-S so they put a 10 by 20 panel array on the south facing side, and viola, my electric bill drops $150 in the summer.
Of course it'll take 10-12 years of summers to pay it off, but I figure I'll get my money back plus some when I sell the place.

Then you have between a 3 and 5 ton ac unit. Its not the weight of the unit, and I dont really know how they used that but thats the sizes.
