Realistically you will be using the AC "FULL TIME" a alot more than June to August...more likely April to October on a steady basis..with few days off.....and you will be using the AC some days march and November. Florida is not the mid west. The heat and humidity may not be any worst than VA or other locations BUT the season is certainly much longer!!! Dont kid yourselvelf otherwise. IN spring and fall you will have short streches of days that you can open the front door and back sliders and let the breeze flow throgh the hosue but these days are rare in the summer.
Depending uponm your location in the Villages, you will have a Gas furnace or a heat pump. Our Gas costs were very reasonable even with last winters cold
