Default hot house in summer

As I stated, it could be a host of things. At this point, we are all just
guessing without knowing room size, Sq footage of house, size of the AC
unit, is it gable mount/all in one, is it tied into the furnace, etc.

We're
really taking stabs in the dark here. Therefore, both our statements
basically apply.



Nope....

Actually, with a few more questions, those of us that have a clue, could
about narrow it down to one of three things..

if your AC is working fine other parts of the day, its not likely
there is anything wrong with it.

This statement is totally wrong. there are several ways an a/c can
fail and only partially cool

No, that statement is totally true. If the AC cools the house some
of the time, but not when the sun is high in the sky, then the house
isn't very well insulated.


Wrong!

If the A/C is undersized, it may be able to cool the home when the

load
is low, but not when the load is high. The same result would occur if

the
unit was properly sized, but air flow was restricted, or it was not

working
to full capacity for other reasons. There are many possible reasons.

Frankly while insulation is important and should be up to standard,

if
the installer did a proper install, he would have known the insulation

was
substandard and increased the size of the unit (also informed the
homeowner.)

Give me a big enough unit and I can cool a un-insinuated airport

hanger.
