Hi everyone,
I got my central ac installed recently. i have nearly 2K sqf 2 story
house and contractor said that trane 2 1/2 ton should be enough to
cool it at summer time. They also said that they guarantee 20F
difference after ac is on. Well, i run it now and can't get even 5F
difference in the house.. i'm just wondering what is the normal
expectation from 2.5 ton unit should be? can it perform to cool down
temperature till 70F when outside temperature is 80-85F?
there is no icing on the pipes coming out from compressor i don't
know
there should be any ice at all...
i'm kinda disappointed with it especially remembering that i paid $4k
to install it....
Thanks
D

I did not ask them specifically but assumed that it is before unit is
on and after....
anyway the contract explicetely says :
design tenperature: 70F
on a 90F day for cooling.

Twenty degree drop is about normal and that size AC is common on houses your
size.. If you are getting only 5 degrees, something is wrong. Call the
installer and he'll come back and fix it.

There should be no icing on pipes. The coil should be getting cold though.

Hi,
Do you have good air flow? What is blower size(in Hp)?
My house is R2000 spec 2.4K sqf 2 story. 3 ton unit is just doing fine.
