Since replacing the compressor made yours work properly, you obviously were not asking for anything excessive.
My thermostat was set to 74. In the morning the temp would be 74-75 when I woke up. By noon the actual temp in my home was between 78-80. This was an ongoing situation that the serviceman claimed was normal and that I would never get my temp to any less than 10 degrees lower than what was outside. (BTW the thermostat was no where near a window in case you were wondering). So he was trying to convince me that if it was 95 outside I would never get the inside temp to lower than 85. I call bull-oney since that was ludicrous. So again, when it finally completely went it took 3 weeks in brutal heat with the only cool air coming from the portable unit I bought. I learned a lot about air conditioning that summer and was very grateful that my house was under 5 years old so still under parts and labor warranty. I also learned that by calling Carrier directly I finally got the needed parts installed.
