By far AC is the largest consumer of juice, however there are a number of items that consume power all the time (ghost watts) averaging 100 to 200 watts 24/7 or 73.2 to 146.4 kWH monthly.
To quote dollars to operate an appliance is somewhat misleading depending upon your utility but you can be reasonably accurate at .112 cents per kWH. So my AC costs $55.56 this month not including customer charges, taxes and other fees.
Data based upon a whole house energy monitor collecting 100,000 points of data per second for six years or 18.9 trillion points of reference.
Any questions on energy consumption in TV, ask away.
TLDR: no your bill is not high.

A few questions.
Is the AC consuming 2927 watts per hour, per day?
Was the 496,120,000 watts for the month computed by your monitor?
About how many hours a day do you run the AC during the summer?
