Just now, KAOS said:

Do you have an attic fan? Perhaps that would help. Here is a link explaining some of what I was talking about and this example actually shows the air handler in the attic.

Keep in mind the 20 degree Delta T is just rule of thumb. That said, it seems you have a problem. 68 degree supply air is not going to cool the house sufficiently (upstairs).

At least that is my experience.

 

 

Guess I will call for a second opinion.  We actually do have an attic fan (along with almost full length ridge vents), I had to replace the motor two weeks ago and I was sweating to death in the attic and lamenting the shitty AC upstairs, which is what prompted me to call the tech in the first place.  I don't ever recall this issue so something mustve changed in the past year.

Sad thing is half my job is refrigerant thermodynamics (on a city-sized scale) but I've never bothered to do the calculations for the AC unit. 

Onward...
