So I moved into a new place and the air conditioner does not seem to work very well.
Timeline of events:
-
First day it got over 80 this May the AC would not cool to the desired temp. Had it set to 75 and it wouldn't go below 77.
-
Racked up a massive 120 kWh bill that day trying to cool off the house.
-
Called the rental people and they send their tech. He hooks up his thing, tells me it's just a dirty filter, and it was. Replaced filter. House cools off, although it was a fairly cool day this happened. 78 or 79 high.
-
Two days later it gets to 85 outside. House won't cool off. No matter what I set it to, 75, 76, 77, it's always a couple of degrees hotter in the house.
-
Tech comes out again this morning before 10 AM. Hooks up his machine. Dumps some refrigerant into the unit outside. Unscrews a panel off the unit in the basement and checks it out to make sure nothing's blocked up. Seems to be satisfied and leaves as the A/C has the house cooling at 73 degrees.
-
Heats up this afternoon. It's currently 85 outside, 77 inside, and I have the A/C set to 74.
I don't anticipate the A/C ever turning off today, unless reddit tells me to, because I'm at a loss what to do right now.
