It may help to compare the size of your unit with other similar size houses in your neighborhood. Typically, you need at least one ton of cooling for every 600 square feet of living space. If you don't know the unit size, write down the model number on the outside unit and look it up on the manufacturer's website. Good luck.
Yep that part I have covered. 2 Ton.
I have scheduled an appointment with home depot to send someone to investigate and size one up. I would like to think I can even get a more efficient unit than a 15 year old system.
