Moved into a 900 sq. ft. new duplex unit last month and man has this thing been pumpin’. Seems like it’s always on but not sure if it’s just the heat. I keep all the blinds closed every day and the AC guy came by a few weeks ago to look at the unit and make adjustments. He said the unit has one or two more summers left in it. I usually have the temp set to 75 during the afternoon which has been manageable but it often wants to creep up to 76-78.
