The A/C in our old house was a chiller system back 100 years ago.In fact most of the old pluming for it is still downstairs! There are cisterns on the north side of the house. Pull cold water off the last one and pump it back to the first one. We get a lot of humidity so the newer "refrigerant" A/C system makes more sense. Upper 70's is comfortable when it's 50% humidity or less.

We're on high ground here. Real high ground. If it weren't for the trees, we'd probably get all kinda channels besides what we do.
 
We have the house and the shop. Normal old house with forced air furnace. Natural gas.
Shop is hydronics. Hot water tank. Natural gas.
Need to keep shop warm as we run Aquaponics.
So between lights and heat we hit $850/month last winter for a few months. Down under $400 during the summer. Under $300 a couple times.

Split units are almost all you see overseas. Seen em in Europe, Africa, South America, and of course Asia and Viet Nam. I guess the advantage is that you can cool the rooms you want individually. We have 5 split units in our house in VN for example. In all the bedrooms, but none in the Kitchen/Eating area. We do get a nice breeze and airflow there though if I keep the doors and windows open...
 
Just popped in to say hey before I'm gone again. Weather broke finally. Too nice to stay indoors.
Have a great humpday
 
I just add up for the year what my water, sewer, garbage, elec. and propane combined bill is and I keep the garage heated all winter at 65*
Turns out to be along with property tax $5,500.
