Window AC units have gotten pretty robust and remarkably low-power. Friend of mine had to cool his entire house when his main AC unit went out with just a single window unit, and it worked pretty well.
Gotta make sure you insulate the fuck out of your house, though. That's the real secret to minimizing power usage.
Oh yeah, my house is pretty efficient for its age. First thing I focused on after I bought it. While it's probably still a ton of my electric usage, I'm in a hot climate. I am.always shocked when I hear other people's electric bills though, I don't know how they use so much.
