I have a 2 ton Rheem model UBHC17J06NFH, I just had it checked last week but a takes a long time to cool down, I live in Florida, yes I understand the heat outside avg this week at 100 deg. But it should not take a long time to cool down.

In my home it's warmer in other rooms, any recommendations, the system was installed when I purchased my home in 2004, Is it time to get a new one? If so, what kind of system is the best?

1800sq ft of living area.

Thanks

( do you leave it on all the time? Or do you wait till it gets hot and then turn it on?)

( inspect or have someone to inspect the duct work making sure everything is intact)
Installed in 2004 it should be a long time before it needs replacing)
Is this the first year you`ve had this problem?

I just called my electric company to do a energy conservation audit, they usually refer to a AC company to check home with a discounted price. Yes this is the first time having this type of problem.
