Here it seems a bit much to invest a few thousand dollars plus the monthly opex to have your home 2-3 degrees cooler on the 5-6 days a year where we are at or around 30 degrees. The nights always seem to drop down to 10-12 degrees even on the hottest days, providing a nice natural cooling breeze.
What would someone expect the average monthly cost to run a CAC system in a typical Calgary house be from June-Sept?

I had my AC on for a chunk of May, and I was wondering how the bill would look. It was significantly cheaper than the bill for April, which was cold and snowy for the whole time. I can't point to an exact price, and my electricity and gas is all together, but I don't think it's a huge difference.
