Still having problems with insufficient cooling in my house. I had an a/c tech come out and take temps from the room air entering the coil (where the squirrel cage is at) and that air was 80 degrees, he then measured the air exiting the coil and that temp was 51 degrees...can anyone tell me is this coil performing like it should...? (outside temp was 97 degrees and the attic temp was 118 degrees.)

After he took these temps he said the coil was fine that my duct work was funky...he said the transitions in my ducts need "triangle shaped duct board" for better air flow...can anyone give me an opinion on this...I've read that duct board really isn't a good substitute for this....

(He used a digital thermo and punched a hole in the top of the air handler and inserted a lengthy wire to get his readings).

You should have posted this in the residential section.
It appears you have low air flow, which could be due to a large number of reasons.
If you don't trust the tech that came out, then call a reputable company. You will pay more but should get an accurate diagnosis.
Good luck.

What was it you didn't like about him that makes you not believe what he tells you?
