I also find the location of the thermostat to be critical as it needs to be more in the center of the house not near the garage or front door.

During 3 weeks of August 2022 I had no air conditioning. SunKool’s tech came every month and I complained that my temp setting would be fine in the morning but by afternoon my temp would rise to over 80. He gave me the same excuse over and over and told me nothing was wrong. Well, 8/2022 I had a complete ac breakdown. I had countless “Freon” boosts with no avail. That led to a coil replacement, then a capacitor replacement and not one but two replacements of my compressor ( the first one was defective). It wasn’t until a tech went into my attic and found a kink in a copper line that was likely the problem all along! Thankfully I was 3 months away from my 5 year parts and labor (actually have 10 year labor). I have switched to another maintenance company but I will always have a backup ac. I have leant it to several neighbors since then. My best advice is to be prepared. You don’t want to go through what I did.
