a/c overwhelmed by heat
Yesterday in SE VA the heat was so oppressive my home AC was
overwhelmed. At 4 PM when I came home the temperature outside was 102. My AC is set to 78 and the inside of the house was 84. By the time I went to bed at 11 PM it had come down to 81 inside the house. This morning it is at 78 again. Is this a function of the poor insulation of my house or is it likely my system needs to be serviced? My house is 1650 sq ft with vaulted ceilings and one ceiling fan in the great room and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. I also have two skylights in the great room that I hate which contribute to heat in there too. I believe the system is 2 or 2.5 tons; the original barely adequate system installed by the builder. -- "I miss. I miss. I miss. I make."
