Eight tons of A/C, lots of insulation. Average electric bill is 200 +/- depending on my extra use. Just air conditioned my shop also. The damned humidity ain't good for my asthma or my allergies.

Whaaaaaat???? That is RIDICULOUS. Please share with me the sq footage you are cooling as well as the SEER rating of your unit. And brand and model, preferably. That is amazingly efficient, I am thinking. 8 tons, I am thinking you are cooling close to 5k sq ft?
Certainly, home is 4,000 one level, dual zoned with a 5&3, R30 walls, R40+ attic (properly vented)fiberglass insulation, 2" high density styrofoam lined garage door , partially foamed, gassed windows & doors, ceiling fans in all rooms, minimal sunlight exposure, both units are R22 (not R134) 12 something seer screw drives. Highest electric bill last tear was 241. Please note I am on Verdigris Valley Electric Co-operative, and not Public Service. My next roof will hopefully be an insulated steel roof. I am a retired Commercial General Contractor with time to piddle around the my house shop.
Wow, well that's great. I hope someday when I'm able to build a home (I hope, anyways) I can build one that saves me that kind of money. Strong work, sir!
