Most HONEST AC people will tell you that anything over a "15 split" (meaning asking the unit to cool your home MORE than 15 degrees under the outside temp, is going to really strain the unit. IF we follow that, on 95 degree days we "should" set thermostat at 80, but most people would set it much lower, and most units are able to respond to that, but something very wrong with your unit as you are not demanding much of it ! ! !
