If you have it set at 77 and you had your wish of it going on at 79 (or higher) I think you would be most uncomfortable, and 75/78 likewise. I don't know why you don't suspect the new coil. If its...

Those 12' ceilings mean you are cooling the equivalent of 4300 sq ft house with 8 ft ceilings. For your climate and volume of room air I'd say you are undersized. Some builders will "round down" in...

If it were my place I would install all new insulated flex duct. It's really a minimum std, your losing cool air to the attic before it gets into the rooms. INVEST in new ducts.

There's a drainage tray running around the perimeter of the coil (inside). It sounds like it's getting clogged and too much condensate water is present.

In S Texas where we design around 98 degrees ambient, we'd probably use a 3.5 ton unless there was something unusual. Phoenix is hotter, so I wouldn't doubt a 4 ton
