I also see them going for $600.00+ and agree that seems a bit high. I found one new W/O box a year ago for $350.00.

Re: OT - Any A/C service men here?
What are you heating with, electricity or gas. If you have a all electric furnace you could have a heat element "stuck" on. As soon as you cool the air it is then warmed back up. This could explain why your electric bill is so high and you house is not cool. This is a very common problem.
