What I am saying is that the house should have been cool during the walk-through, and, if it wasn't, the seller has an obligation to explain why it is not cooling. Is there something wrong with it? Whenever I have attended a walk-through, everything was operating as it should be, and available for verification. The seller's agent even ran the dishwasher, microwave, and other appliances during the walk-through.
If the house was hot, turning down the thermostat to 74 degrees should have immediately caused the outside condenser unit to come on.
