How Much Does It Cost to Run AC Per Month in Florida?
A quick dollar estimate for the cooling portion of a Florida electric bill using the same SEER2 math as the upgrade calculator.
Monthly AC cost equals estimated kWh times your electric rate. Estimated kWh is BTU per hour divided by SEER2 and 1,000, then multiplied by runtime hours.
Why this matters
Use this to compare operating cost between an old system and a replacement quote.
The public-safe rule
This page gives an educational planning result. Final quote, rebate, payment, package, and installer details wait until the customer and home record are saved inside the assessment flow.

The estimate covers compressor cooling energy only; whole-house electric bills include many other loads and fees.
Run the same inputs with your old and proposed SEER2 to compare monthly savings.
If runtime is unusually high, check duct leaks, insulation, refrigerant charge, and thermostat schedule.
This is a planning estimate, not a final quote or engineering report. Field conditions, permits, equipment selection, ducts, electrical work, and installer verification can change the result.
