My AC doesn't seem to be removing the humidity from the air, what is wrong?

Question

I just recently had my evap coil replaced, they put in a 3 ton instead of a 2.5 ton, and then had to get my compressor replaced, that is 2.5 ton. They just came back out this morning as the system wasn't cooling and I was told that I was about a pound low on freon, so they loaded me up. Now the temp on the thermostat seems to stay close to what it is set at, but the humidity levels are getting high, 59-60%. With the levels that high, it feels a little sticky and muggy and that is making it feel warmer than it is. This is not making any sense to me, as the AC seems to run for a decent period of time, so the cycle is not short. Please help.

Thanks,

Rob

Answer 1

Well they have got a leak in your system that I hope they found and repaired.

A pound is a lot for just being repaired, make sure they have documented that for your own protection.

They may need to adjust airflow lower for better humidity removal.

Don't let things go or you will have to deal with it next year when its out of their first year warranty.

Answer 2

ok let me get this right they put in a 3 ton evap coil and you replaced the 2.5 ton comp did they replace the metering to match your 2.5 in the evap coil did they clean your condenser coils and of course they have a leak who and the heck did that all good questions for these guys they need to make it right if you change the evap go with a new condenser that way you have 13 seer so sorry a lot of jacklegs out there gl

Inspect the evaporator drain pan.  As air flows over the cooling coils, moisture will condense on them, and drip into a pan which should be connected to a drain.  Verify that there is moisture in the pan, but not an accumulation there.
