Indeed. We both heat and cool with electricity and "only" spend
something
less than $1700 (five months @ $200 and seven around $100). $9K in
electricity? Yikes! Either harry is lying again, or he's worse than
AlBore.


Typical rates in Britain are about 22¢ per kW. A bit more that I pay
in CT, about 17¢


I paid a total of $1775 last year.


Like I said, I both heat and cool with electricity - 2600ft^2 (now
6200ft^2,
but that's an anomaly).


PV is ideal for cooling. Max power available when you need the
cooling.

Not very efferent. If you have the sun light and space an absorption system
can work better. A knowledge of thermodynamics can be your friend.
