So we were gone to Rayburn this weekend and when we got home the a/c was out. Repair company came out today and replaced the capacitor and its running again but not sure its cooling properly. The capacitor was replaced at 10 am this morning and it was 87 degrees inside. Now 7 hours later its still 78 degrees inside with the thermostat set to 70? Is it just me or should it be cooling faster? I had it serviced 2 weeks ago because it froze up and was low on freon. They put 2 lbs it and it cooled properly but they didn't check for a leak, I did climb in attic and nothing is froze up. My dad was here with them while we were at work. I been here 13 years and it just dont seem right. They checked the freon today also and said it was right and everything was working properly. In my head it should be cooling faster but maybe not. It is a two story roughly 2000 sq ft with one unit. It has always froze us out for the past 13 years. All filters are new also.

On a hot day its going to take awhile. Looks like it was in the mid to low 90s earlier so I'd say its on pace.. I've seen a house that warm take until midnight to cool when it gets fixed at 2-3 pm. I'd let it go through the night and see how it does tomorrow.
Air doesn't blow colder or harder when set to 70, it just blows longer....

It seems I've been told 2 degrees an hour and no more than 20 degrees cooler than outside

I'm not an AC guy...just a homeowner with the exact experience several times with the freon fill I needed annually before the new system. That's a hot part of the day to get your temps down from 87. I bet you will be fine. Maybe an AC guy will chime in and confirm.
