The cost is pennies a day for this comfort. We used Daniels AC out of Inverness. You're looking at about $2500 for the unit and install. You can barely hear it run inside and outside.

Like others, not saying you shouldn't do this. But maybe do a test where you drop your temp for a month to 68 at night for your whole house, and compare it to what you pay per month when you don't drop it. Pick a couple of the hottest months for the max comparison.
Let's say the difference is $25 per month. That means 100 months, or 8.3 years you could do that for the $2500 you would spend on the split system. And if you are thinking "But that will kill my house AC quicker" well perhaps, but then you have $2500 in your pocket to put towards a new house AC,
Not perfect/apples to apples, but at least you would be going into the purchase with an idea of what your $2500 purchase gets you vs just turning down your existing AC a bit.
