Poor cooling zone 2 with long freon run

[starblzer]

Hello, I have an issue cooling my second zone upstairs.

The jist is that on a 90 degree day the air coming out of the vents upstairs is about 70 degrees providing little cooling. I could consider this okay if the air coming out of the downstairs vents was 70 too, but its 55 degrees.

Factors that I am considering for the poor preformance are; the compressor is outside on the opposite side of the house with the heat exchanger in a small attic, meaning the freon line is very long and the line isn't very cold when I touch it, maybe I need a larger compressor for the upstairs, can we add insulation to the freon lines? should we move the compressor to the roof so the freon run is within a few feet of the heat exhanger?

thanks
steve

You NEED to place a service call with you're local service company, you have an issue with you're 2nd floor system (.)

Perhaps ask your neighbors and friends as to whom they use :cheers:

Thanks for the reply Chris, but it was just serviced a few weeks ago and this has been an on going issue for several years. I am just wondering what else can be done.

Calling another company???

Insulating the freon lines ain't it, moving it closer assuming it is within a 150' window ain't it....

You're existing contractor "IS" missing the obvious :D
