The room temperature on the thermostat agrees with two other thermometers.

If it matters, 3/2 courtyard villa. Sun-facing windows have blinds and lanai has awning.

If I have to replace the compressor, what is a reasonable pirice?

TIA.
How long does air compressor pump last? Right after the warranty runs out! Is your CYV concrete or wood? IMO with heat in attic and concrete builds heat in afternoon. You A/C will have hard time keeping up or will run off and on every 15 or 20 mins till the sun goes down.
