That last call with the door being stuck open with it being 100+ outside is a huge problem with how close that thermostat is to that door. All that warm ambient air is going to make that thermostat read a different temperature from the actual indoor temperature. They do need to get that fixed before you can actually further assess the problem in my honest opinion. I think you always do a great job in your diagnostics. Keep up the good work. Been learning a lot from you along the way.

Some folks you can't please. I may be wrong, but it is almost impossible to pull down over 20 degrees, with any system. Yeah I know it depends on how well you are insulated and sealed, and etc.. It has been crazy hot in my area, breaking all kind of records. A door not closing, filthy filter, heck it's her own fault. She was agreeing with someone on the phone when she needs to agree with you. You should have asked her if her fridge stays cold with the door open.

And that was quite a bit of money back then the reason concerts cost $6,200 today is because fools pay the price.

I worked at the Civic Center in Charleston, WV in the middle 70’s and my ID got me back stage to any concert or event playing. I saw many bands, circus, sport’s games but I always enjoyed watching the bands do their sound checks but Ted Nugent was the loudest of them all. I saw so many bands to mention here but Peter Frampton had civic center filled way beyond capacity there were so many people there I couldn’t physically get back stage, glad the fire marshal didn’t stop by he would have shut down the concert and it would caused a riot.

Manual J design conditions for my area (New Orleans) is 92 outdoor with 75 indoor at 50% r.h. Expecting an indoor temperature of 70 degrees with outdoor of 97 degrees is not going to happen unless the system is way oversized.

I finally broke down and bought the Dewalt 20v fan accessory to add to my "collection." It'll probably be getting some use this weekend, if my back is cooperating I'll be doing a compressor changeout. On my Jeep. 🙂I've never done this before, so hopefully I've learned enough from Curtis and Chris to get it right! 6:32 - Having Bob Seger songs stuck in your head isn't a bad thing... Heck, my Senior Prom song/theme was "We've Got Tonight." (Graduated in '96) I was surprised my student council had even heard of the song. My grandmother had the LP "The Distance" and played "Shame on the Moon" constantly, while my mother was much more enamored with "You'll Accomp'ny Me." I have to watch out if I'm driving and "Hollywood Nights" comes on, it's one of those songs that makes me want to drive unreasonably fast. My mom once had a Chevy Cavalier, her license plate had the letters "ROK" - after she hit a pretty big deer, denting the hood slightly and busting the mounting bracket for one headlight assembly, she kept singing "Like a Rock" for a few days. 🤣 10:05 - "Was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds... Tight-pants points hardly renowned..." 11:02 - It's OK, that cap is rated ±60% tolerance. 🤪

One of the first things I do when I walk up to look at an air handler/evap coil is check the float switch, and then the drain line.... Even when I go to change a fan motor, compressor, or a complete install I always vacuum or blow that drain line with pressure, makes it easier to minimize the call backs.
