[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 2776482, member: 745"] Another consideration is whether your inside unit (the evaporator) and the outside unit (the condenser) are from the same manufacturer and rated the same. Have your HVAC guy measure the temperature differential between a return air grill and an outlet grill while your A/C has been running for several minuets. This will indicate how efficient your unit is. (I don't recall what the differential range should be when mine was measured, but your HVAC guy will know.) It might be a good idea to have your electric meter checked as well. It is also possible you have an electrical drain elsewhere in the house causing your high bills. You could also have all your cooled air seeping out between your foundation stem wall and the soleplate due to a lack of proper sealing when the house was framed. Regardless, find the problem before you spend money on a new unit! Woody [/QUOTE]
