Seal all hvac ducts and boots with mastic. We did this same setup on a house
that was 4200 sqft area and
The owner says the electric bill is under 300 a month in the summer. And this is with gas water heaters not electric

Pox I have this setup on my home, we have 3 AC's and 5400 sqft and my bill all summer has been around $350, this past month was $450. Not bad for a house this size. The camp however is a different story, the AC never turns off at the camp when we are there.
