Before we got the swamp coolers, our electric bills in the summer were over $300/month, and that was back in 2004, before our electric charges went up over 20%, I can't even imagine what they would be now.
Right now, it is 108 outside, 79 in our living room, (where the cooler is) 84 in my office (around a corner and down a hall from cooler), which like you said isn't real comfortable, but I have a fan blowing on me that makes it bearable.
Some day, I want to get a 2nd big swamp cooler like we have in the living room and probably install it in Jim's office (opposite end of the house). Between the two, we'd cool this down really nice.
