@knitper I know they dehumidify the air. If the unit is too big it can short cycle and it doesn’t run long enough to take the humidity out.
My air plan shows I’m supposed to have a 4 ton air conditioner. The unit inside my house is marked 4 ton hand written in permanent market, but the model is a 60, so it’s 5 ton. Outside it’s a 48. I was provided documents by my builder that the correct agency signed off on that combination. It doesn’t all match up.
What started my investigation is I’ve had to keep my air temp lower than usual so I bought a thermometer that measures temp and humidity and the humidity is high.
My builder has been horrible. The HVAC guy was here for something else and I mentioned the humidity (before I had climbed into the attic myself and looked at the model numbers) and his response was that my humidity is way too high and I can add a dehumudifier or a thermostat for humidity that overused the temp in the house and clicks on the unit. He can go take a flying leap. Sorry, but I’m so angry about my house build, about so many things, I am beside myself. I’m not going to be told that when I have lived in Florida most of my adult life in 6 different residences and this is the first time I’ve had a problem. They have done something wrong.
I’m going to call the agency that approved the HVAC systems, or maybe if I can figure out who does the calculations for the house to try and arm myself with information. The HVAC people are supposed to come back next week to look at it. They already have the information on the signed off paperwork.
I’m so frustrated.
@jca I really appreciate it.
