When we bought our second new house, this one in Lake Deaton village, we were concerned that it took hours to cool down the house a few degrees. Since the house had been stretched a lot, one thought was that the AC unit was not powerful enough. TV told us the unit was just fine and everything was as it should be. When we had our 1-year inspection, the inspector came down from the attic laughing - this was a new one for him. Apparently there are measurement sticks attached around in the attic to measure the depth of the insulation - the installer made sure the depth was correct at each measuring stick, but was a low as 1 to 2 inches in most of the space.
The Villages had it fixed - the truck pumping insulation was at our house all day. House heats and cools just fine now.
