I may be crazy, but I also think comfortable temperature for me can also vary by house. At my parents house (much newer than mine) if their thermostat is set to anything below 74, I'm freezing. At my house, I'm comfortable in the 72-74 range. At my friend's house, at 72 I'm sweating and miserable.




Absolutely. Has to do with the layout of the house, insulation, sun exposure/windows, etc.

My townhouse was built in 2016, is very small (1,400 sqft), and has all of the modern insulation in the walls/attic and windows.

One HVAC can drop it from 75 to 68 in an hour

Your unit is likely oversized and your hvac contractor is likely unfamiliar with manual J, much less manual D.
