Have your AC guy come out 1 time only, to check it out. Have him repair anything that needs repairing, including adding Freon if need be. Once it's working properly, tell your T that, and let it go. If she wants it colder, tell her to buy her own window unit, to get it to where she wants it. Remember, every AC unit in this country, is working to fight against Mother Nature. If it's above 95 outside, with high humidity, and the Sun is beating down all day on a little house on this planet, it's actually 120-150 on that roof. Unless you have at least a foot of insulation in the attic or rafters, and 6 inches insulation in the sidewalls, whatever size AC you have, will have a hard time fighting Mother Nature.

To see if what I am saying is correct, ask her to do an experiment. On a day that the high is predicted to be 80 or less, have her set her AC temp to 66-68, and let it run all day, to see how low it will get. If it gets below 70, the AC is working fine.

The other thing people don't think about, is it's not about where the temp is set at, or what it reads. It's about how a person FEELS inside, as opposed to outside. If it's 100 outside and high humidity, 80 inside with lower humidity, is going to FEEL GREAT.
