Default Is this acceptable HVAC performance?

Here's a way to measure performance:

1) With the house warm, turn the thermostat down so the a/c will turn
on and run for at least 10 minutes.

2) After running for ten minutes, and while still running, measure the
temp of warm air going into the a/c unit as close as you can get to
it. At the same time, measure the cool air coming out of the vent
nearest to the a/c unit.

3) A 20 - 25F temp drop is very good. More than 30F and you may have
an over sized unit.



Bull****, without all the required data, everything is a WAG (wild ass
guess).

Now, if you want to talk about:

TESP, CFM
SP, ST, SH
LP, LT, SC
DB, WB
AT, CT, CDT
ST, RT, EDT
CA, CRLA
FA, FRLA
Etc.. we can get somewhere.
