Try one Fluorescent bulb to see how it works.

$250 per month, oh my!

Something else, when you run the A/C make sure you close the doors to every room, in addition, you may want to close the vents in the closets or even the bathrooms.

Make sure to close the blinds, it is a killer when people run the A/C & the sunlight is beaming into the room.
