not sure I have a problem
Doing some cleaning on my a/c evaporator coil. I noticed that my coil appeared to only be wet about half way up. So I proceeded to check my superheat and subcool measurements. My subcool is about 10 degrees and my superheat about 3.5 degrees. I believe both should bee about ten degrees. The unit cools well with a difference of about 15 degrees between the intake and the output air. However the humiidty seems high in the house around 40%. I have a 2010 goodman 2.5 ton heatpump 15 seer. It uses 410a freon. Is there possibly a problem.

40% RH is fine, but coil half way wet may be a problem, what type of metering device you have ? Is the large pipe ice cold ? (if you want me to guess----may be refrigerant a little low----, since you can check subcool or super heat, you should be able to check that out yourself, 15 degrees split is not great, but acceptable)

The only thing that caught my eye is the SH and Delta T. Where did you take temp reading, inside or out?

Take temp reading inside at the evap coil. See if you get a diff reading. TXV or piston?
