Hi Old , I paid a cheat HVAC outfit from Janesville here in Iowa just over 5,000 at the beginning of last year for an air to air Amana heat pump with a very high SEER and whatever the heat index is called and a new main duct and a couple six foot pieces of 6' round paper thin ducts . The main was about 12'long . I replaced one 18,000 btu window unit and one six thousand btu window unit . My electric bill went up . A/C works 24/7 . It only turns off when the outside temps get below 60 degrees when I don't need it anyway . My house is old but pretty well insulated . My trouble is the dingbat owner of the HVAC company wouldn't listen to me when I told him my upstairs ductwork wasn't adequate but I couldn't arrord to replace all my walls to install new ducts so I wanted him to up size the blower and return duct so it would move more air . He didn't and now there isn't much I can do about it . My electric bills are not quite what yours are , just about 350 a month in the summer and 400 in winter . I keep the house at about 58* in the winter and I try and keep it cold in the summer too - about 63* so that's part of the high bills in the summer . But with it set at 63* it will normally keep it at about 78* on days like today . Right now ( almost 9 pm ) it's reading 70* and it's still set at 63* . My house is just over 1700 square foot two story . I'm all electric too and get a big cost reduction on the heat pump . DON'T get an Amana ! Get a train or a Heil , MUCH better units . So don't let the supposed experts BS you . I even have a background in AC repair because that's what I did in the military . Maybe next year I'll get around to cutting up the house to install new ductwork and make this worthless unit work the way it's supposed to . Hope you stay cool ! Good luck with keeping people off the property . Get some ill tempered LLamas ( HA-HA ) or some of those geese that have the big hump on the top of the beak , can't remember the name but used to have a couple and they were mean! I was glad when one of our dogs had them for lunch . Peacocks or guinee hens will make a rucuss when they are disturbed too ...Randy
