Electricity is cheap here ~7 cents /kwh, but I expect it to go up with more people buying electfic cars.
Another thing you might consider, given the size of your home, is a ductless AC / heat pump hvac system.
The highest electric bill I've ever gotten since installing mine was $117.
So much efficiency is lost through the ducts.
But it depends on the climate you live in, too. If you are in northern Canada, a heat pump won't get the job done. Lol
Let me know if you need help sizing / choosing a system. Much is dependent upon the climate.
Since I am more than a little adverse to heat & humidity, I opted for a system optimized for cooling. 👍
Minisplits come with lines filled with refrigerant, so you can install yourself. 👍
