Despite me telling the service man over and over again with every service visit that my thermostat wasn’t reaching the set temp, he would tell me that it was normal in the heat of the summer. It is NOT NORMAL! Your ac should bring the temp to what you set the thermostat. Call your service company and if it’s SunKool get another company!
I know my system will cool my house at least 25 degrees below the outside temperature, but there is a limit. I wouldn't expect to be able to cool my house to 50 degrees on a 100 degree day but cooling to 75 degrees works just fine. Since replacing the compressor made yours work properly, you obviously were not asking for anything excessive.
