The average (US suburban 2200sq ft) home’s A/C does consume 4kW while it is cycled on, and in the hotter than normal months of summer it can run continuous duty cycle for hours on end.

  You need better insulation then. That’s crazy. Also outdoor blinds.

    Me, personally, we have trees and shade. So many subdivisions don’t, and they have dark colored roofs, and then homeowners do bone-headed things like adding “sun rooms” - lots of those in Houston.
    
    We get upset when our electric bill passes $300 for the month, but our neighbors with the 3500 sq ft? They never see it under $400.
