    low duct temperature



    I have a 2.5 ton split unit. New evaporator last year. It all worked fine until now. However now I cannot get lower than 65 degrees out of the duct anywhere in the house. This was in the 50's before.
    Suction 125
    head 280
    Condenser unit is about 4 years old. Seams to be working good.
    I am at a loss.

    Thanks

    Rick

    Pressures are meaningless without knowing what refrigerant you are talking about.

    Other parameters such as air entering, air leaving, room temp etc. also help.

    Sorry r410

    superheat 10-13
    subcooling 10

    air into evaporator 73
    room temp 73
    temp at evaporator {little temp lead inside) about 53

    of course temp outside is 95-100

    I would suspect that you have a refrigerant shortage.

    The only way to tell is to recover and check the amount against the nameplate charge.
