How is your AC holding up in this heat?
It's not faring well. We keep it at 74 during the day and 71 at night. Saturday it got up to 79 in the house. Today was 76 or 77 so not as bad..fans keep it mostly okay. Having an AC tech come have a look for maintenance.. haven't had anyone look at it in a few years.
At least it's not broken.

Almost impossible to design an AC system to cool more than 20 degrees of whatever it is outside particularly with high humidity
Data Centers/Server Rooms humming comfortably at 68°F 24/7 all over the world between the Topics of Cancer and Capricorn say otherwise. Granted many of these systems are pushing $100k but you said impossible.

he said almost impossible
Though I'm not really sure what he meant by saying that. Maybe he means for an average residential system. Because in Dubai there is literally an indoor ski slope. And Dubai makes the heat here feel mild. Heat indexes regularly get over 130.

Mine is running almost nonstop, and it’s a brand new system I recently had installed.
Basically, if your AC guy did a good job of matching your AC system to your house, your house isn’t holding the cool air in.

Less then 2 year old 14 Seer system. Wife got home last week while I’m out of town, house is 83 degrees, thermostat on 78. Lowers it to 72 and nothing. Repair guy comes out and there’s no freon in the system. Finds a hole in the damn evaporator coil. Less than 2 years old! Aluminum coils because the copper coils were too thin on newer units.
Guy says only thing he can think is that either lightning strike or static electricity caused it. Sending coils to manufacturer to find out. But I still have to pay several hundred for labor.

If it's Lennox unit 2-3 years is common for leaky coil. Lennox is trash.

Many new builds are putting in Lennox units. Current homeowners looking to replace a unit wouldn't dare out in a Lennox unit unless they were heavily pursuaded by a Lennox authorized dealer.
I live in NW Houston and building houses as far as the eye can see and its mainly Lennox units. I believe the numbers were over 100K Lennox coil replacements in a couple years for our area.
There was a lawsuit against the coils that ended in 2016 but another one is in the works.
Your coil is under warranty but will need to pay for service visit, labor, and Puron. Your looking at $700-$900.
I often tell people pay the extra $500 and get a Trane. They have epoxy coated coils and can last up to 15 years and the coils have a 10 year warranty.

I have Lennox units that are 5 years old, ive had to call out a technician 15 times on my upstairs unit. I filed a formal complaint with Lennox in 2017 and after 3 months of back & forth it went nowhere.
I’m selling this house in 2 weeks and won’t miss the Lennox headache.

Mine stays on 80-82 in the day. I’ll drop it down to 78 at night. If it’s 95-100 outside, 80 degrees feels pretty cool esp with the fan on.
What the frick is this?

We have a 5 ton American Standard which is the same thing as a Trane now. It's only 5 years old but has been rock solid.
