Friend,
What is the outdoor temperature when your temperature rises to 76 indoors? Most A/C systems are designed for a delta temperature of 20-25 degrees. That means that if it is 100 degrees outside, your A/C is designed to keep your inside at 75-80 degrees.
That is why it is imperative for your units' health that you do not keep the thermostat at 72 if the temperature outside you are trying to reduce is 100. Running the system all day like you are reduces your A/C system's lifespan, will create large electricity bills, and is not good on the electrical grid.
It is not a popular opinion here, but set your thermostat higher. I would never recommend setting it at a greater than 20 degree difference from the outside temperature.
Yours,
TulaneLSU
