I have no idea what we pay because my wife pays the bills and I try to avoid any knowledge of how much things cost; ignorance is bliss I guess. That being said we used to have super high electric bills in July and August because we are in Houston and we had a 16 year old airconditioner. In those months $500 per month was not unusual. Then it died and we put in the highest SEER unit we could get and the bills now are typically around $150 in those months.

My first home in Houston in the 80's had an Arcla Servel Gas fired air conditioner and our summer electric bills were not bad but the gas bill was higher then in the middle of winter!
