-Short cycling the unit. Pick a temp and let it run, quit turning it off and on.
-Dirty or blocked condensing unit. Cottonwood seed is nasty, as is grass clippings. Dirty cond. coils cause high head pressure.
OK, I know this will cause you to laugh but we live in an older 1500 sqft rambler - 1 story on a slab. It's just the wife and I so I close off the vents in the rooms we rarely use. I thought this is OK - No?
