finding out average monthly electrical cost on potential purchase?

You could just ask the previous owners

Call the listing agent, request the info, let them do their job.

If you are that concerned with the entergy bill, you should probably look at a cheaper house

i think you should always be concerned with the efficiency of the house you are looking to purchase.

it's about the user as much as the house. You may pass on something good that had a high bill because they had many people in the house, someone who worked from home and ran the AC all the time, stay at home mom etc.

I had my realtor request it

And if you're buying a house, especially in the south, you are absolutely right to request it. Not sure why you wouldn't. AC units are expensive as frick. If the inspector notices some problems with the system or unit in the inspection or the unit is older, and there's a high bill, you can put two and two together pretty easily.

Keep calling entergy. You will find a customer rep who will give it to you.

How many plants do you plan on growing?

What's the square footage, is it 2 stories, how many units, how old is the house?

I have 4600sf living space, 2 stories with 2 units in a house that was built in 1902 but just completely renovated and insulated and we pay around $500 in summer and half that in winter.

The pool will rape you in the winter if you keep it heated. since it's new you'll prob pay about half of what I do. I was always under the impression having 2 stories would cost a lot extra. That's not the case. Become friends with your auto button on your thermostat.
