I have one. Haven't had anything different in this house. 100 year old two story farmhouse. Fairly good sized 4 bedroom with new windows on main floor. $200 per month is a pretty good estimate. It can be up to $50 more in extreme temps but that is unusual.
I just put in a new one last month. It is air to air like the previous (outside condenser unit). It turns on when needed and starts timing. If the temp does not rise sufficiently in 7 minutes (I think) then it ramps up the fan and starts one of the all electric heat strip. Keeps doing this progression until it kicks off.
Very happy with it but I do hear dollar signs coming out of the vent when those heat strips start. Imagine running a 20kw space heater. Luckily it isnt a regular occurrence on most days. I usually run a space heater in the living room while I am in there - that keeps it from kicking on the strips. I like that the house isn't dry inside. Usually the air coming out of the vents is in the high 70's so it doesn't burn out the moisture. If you like to feel blistering heat come out of the vents you won't like it as that RARELY happens.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
