You are right about the antifreez in the coils. This method is used up north where the climate is colder. In the south just water is used in the coils. For the cost vs return their would be several factors. One which you mentioned, if you lived there but also the size of your house.
Based on todays energy cost, the payoff would be shorter. Five to eight years I would guess. There are other positive factors. No loud air compressor outside running all the time. No gas or fumes to put up with.
The inside humidity is a non issue. Bass Comfort Control out of Wetumpka installed my system.
