Does it maintain the desired temperature on hot days? If it can't

But what is a "reasonable" desired temperature? Is 20F less than
outdoors considered "reasonable?" So I should be able to maintain
75F indoors at 100% duty cycle if the outdoor temp is 95F?


I used to keep the house at 72° F.Â*Â* Now I run a pair of dehumidifiers in my basement and am I'm comfortable at 76° F.

Re comfort, the most important step is to get the humidity down to the 25% level and then cool the air if needed.
