Cost of Running A/C unit

[Gorilla]

After the initial purchase of a unit, how much of a spike in electricity bill did you see?

How about maintaince?

Doesn't matter. Worth it.

My electricity bills are still lower in summer than they are in winter.

I haven't had a house without central A/C for 4-5 years though so I can't tell you what change there is.

Generally speaking, if you run your fan continuously all winter on low speed it will use more power than A/C and fan on high speed running intermittently in summer.

There must be a consumption rating (kilowatt hour) on the unit. The rest is just marth.

The furnace blower only runs on high during a/c, so more power is used there as well.
