I am not sure to tell how many Tons the unit is, but the heating BTU's
is 92,000. The unit runs all day long and never cuts off because it
never cools down the home. When the temperature gets to the upper
80's and above this happens. I have checked the return and the filter
is clean and it has good suction, the temperature coming out of the
vents is usually between 23 & 26 degrees difference. However it seems
to be blowing a little week but I do not really know how hard it
should be blowing. HELP!

When was the last time you had it serviced?

Sounds like you need better insulation. a 26 degree drop is fantastic.
Perhaps closing blinds, and getting better windows and a light colored roof.
How's the attic ventilation?

23-26 temp differential is actually very good!

How do we describe on a newsgroup how it should feel???

As mentioned, when was the last time it was serviced?

Your differential is good so I would think either you are not getting
enough volume of cool air out of the registers or it is escaping from the
house faster than can be supplied.

Do you have tin ductwork or flexible duct? Flex duct is notorious for
coming loose at the trunk or at the register.

Difference from what? One number is the temperature coming out of the
vents. What other number are you subtracting that from?

However it seems

Shut off your vents downstairs, and open up the vents upstairs. Cool
air naturally migrates down.
Are your pipes by the inside coil getting cold and sweaty? If not,
sounds like you need a freon boost.

I had it serviced about a year ago where they took it apart and
cleaned everything good. We leave blinds closed, and the insulation
in the attic appears to look good. I have the blown in white cotton
looking insulation that comes up over the 2x10 ceiling joists.

This would make sense if the problem was the downstairs was getting
cool, but the upstairs was still too hot. And even then, you would
only want to close a small portion of the downstairs vents.

The system has a temp differential of 23-26 degrees, which is not
indicative of a freon issue. If anything it could suggest that the
air capacity moving through the system may be low. Did this system
ever work correctly? I'd suggest getting a service visit.

In addition to what others have suggested, it's possible that the unit
is under-sized for the size of the house. Is this a new problem or
has it always been a problem?

Closing down vents is a good way to cause even more issues.

BTW, if you need refrigerant, there's a leak in the system, which needs to
be addressed.

Well, it's time for another appointment.

Make sure they check for proper airflow through the evaporator!

Oh. Does it need to get screwed by an AC professional?
They seem to think that they are real studs, but
the air conditioner and everyone else thinks otherwise.

What you want is _gapless_ insulation coverage, above and in the
walls.
And absolutely minimal leakage, both above and below. Just as much
insulation as you can manage.

Attic ventilation- think fan-boosted- would be a real + for you.

Where are you situated? If between Tulsa and Chattanooga, you're
getting especially hammered with heat this summer. Which might
well be reason to:
1) take insulation to the "next level" or more- sealing, too.
2) give up on cooling the whole house, and focus on some rooms,
like on NE side.

J

I had to come back to this message after seeing it quoted several times..
Why the heck do you have 2 by TEN ceiling joists? Are you sure they're not
2x4 or 2x6? If your insulation is just barely covering a 2x6, then you're
about 7 to 8 inches short of a good job.

It's not rocket science, but there is some specialized knowledge

The root problem is economics. Some of the folks who do such

(seemingly many) of them are arrogant and think more of themselves
