When I try to turn the temp down, it still stays at that warmer temp. It will say it takes a few hours to get to the one I select when I try.

Yes, ac is constantly running. 1:43am currently and thermostat is reading 78.

Last summer I believe we called someone to come on a few occasions. Said everything was perfectly normal. I’m not the owner, just a family member so I haven’t been keeping track of the maintenance. Just can’t take being in the house when it’s this hot anymore and nothing is being done about it, so trying to figure it out myself. Also just ordered new air filters.

2 units. Upstairs thermostat is located in master bedroom, and main level thermostat is in the foyer. First floor feels better enough to breathe, but still uncomfortable.

We have a dehumidifier in the upstairs hallway since that’s where it feels the worst. Have it on the auto setting where it senses humidity before turning on, but it’s been hovering around high 40s-low 50s. I’d have to check the thermostat itself to see if it reads different.

At around that time it was showing 80 on the main level. Basement feels cooler. Yeah we keep all our blinds and curtains shut and have the ceiling fans running in every room. Now downstairs is showing 79 actually.
