Central Air component, doesn't cool satisfactory?

Just bought my first house, and have a put somebody through the mill to ask. It has be brutally hot here for the last couple of weeks 95+, and we simply moved into our "new" house. Our issue is that it will not get down to 75 surrounded by the afternoon inside (looked at it the other morning and it was at 75, but consequently rose during the day). Our first day we be there we newly did some painting so we weren't contained by and out alot, but from 3pm - 10pm it would not drop below 79 and the unit seem to run the whole time (not sure on this, but once I started to become aware of that it was melt and not getting cooler I paid attention). It be 90-95 out that day so I twig that it does affect the temp, but with it running full blast for 3+hours I would hold thought it would make a dent contained by the temp, but no still 79/80. When the home inspection was done, here was a 20* drop at the register and the ac element is ~5 yrs old, house 18 yrs. Is this simply an undersized unit? Any tips are appreciated. THANKS!


Answers:    As Alan said involve more info as a mechanical inspector in that could be a list of problems i could suppose of. Sizing of the unit and duct work itself could be wrong. Is it a 1 or 2 story home? If 2 story and useing one part for both floors and not being a zoned component this causes key issues. Provide us a little in-sight.
i would check the filter first (i assume you already have), and except, then check the component outside (the fan)

the case surrounding the adherent may be clogged with dirt and stuff and may be preventing nouns circulation.

just turn the section off and spray it down near a hose.

if those dont work, it may either involve to be recharged or may be too small- i dont know, but the first 2 things are really cheap and cause more problems than anything else.
Same as first answer but when checking outside section turn breaker off to it and run cover off and be sure to hose down inside coils too. Let dry a short time ago in covering you get hose on electrical part consequently put back together and turn breaker rear on.
Do u mean 20* drop from outside temp or 20* drop from return nouns to supply air. If u own 20* drop from retrun to supply thats great.Need little more info.
It could be undersized but check some other things first. Go to www.hvac-for-beginners.com Check out the page on air conditioner keep and the page on air conditioner troubleshooting.
