I would like to know what others are paying. I appreciate any replies.
OP, there are a few easy things you can check. On a hot and humid day, go to the outside unit and feel the pipe that connects to the unit (the one with the black insulation). When the unit is running, the pipe should be cold and wet. Also, get a duct thermometer and check the temperature at each supply register in the ceiling. You should feel an air flow and the temperature should be about 60 degrees or less. If one of the registers is different, it could indicate that the duct is disconnected or clogged in the attic. Also, have you changed the filter recently?
