Sounds like the Blair Witch Project.

LOL! My attic beams were trees, with one side flattened for the roof. Bark was still on the rest of it. No plywood, just rough sawn southern pine for under the siding. Old homes are pretty awesome construction wise.Sounds like the Blair Witch Project.
The columns in my barn are cedar tree trunks with the bark still on them. The some floor boards are easily 24” wide 2” thick lumber. Old house and barn construction was amazing.LOL!

Has this been happening for as long as you’ve been in the place or is this a new development?
I have a client friend who does most of my HVAC work and one of the things he suggested for me a while back was using those cheap blue filters during the summer months. He said the 3M filtrete style restrict too much air flow. Most of the reason I asked was because Ive experienced performance declines from both heat and ac when I neglected filter changes in the past.Been happening since the day I moved in 5 years ago. My house was built in the 40's or 50's.

Jesus. That is not normal at all. Mine run for 30 minutes on and 30 off depending on the setting and depending on how hot it is outside. I live just outside of Toronto. I get cheap filters and change monthly or every 2 months. Increase that airflow boys.
I'd insulate the attic over the basement. When the sun hits your roof, it causes tremendous heat.Yeah basement and attic... What do you insulate?? The basement with no grow lights on it the winter (10 degrees) would be 58 degrees and in the summer (85 degrees) the basement would be 75+ degrees.

They typically size a homes AC unit so that on the hotter days it has to run most of the time. This helps pull humidity down and it makes the unit more efficient than one that turns on and off.
I never knew Colman made ac units till I bought my current place, Colman coolermaster, it’s a relic and runs all the time on hot days, thing runs peak but I assume it’s working hard nowadays. I cleaned my evaporator and condensers really good too, I would make sure those are clean for peak heat transfer.
Mine would be the same, hot days I can’t get it to the setpoint till sundown, there’s some nights it finally shuts off at 2-3am, I just pretend it’s all good hahaha. House is about 1600sq ft. I made a offer on this place 6 years ago and told them they had to knock off the price of a new ac unit, prob spent it on weed and pizza, still running the Colman cooler master.Mine runs all the time on hot days too and at most weather above 85 degrees. The other day it was 93 degrees out and the thermostat didn't get below 76 degrees. God damn hot basement so the air rises.
Would need the data off the blower motor and the condenser unit outside.I'm thinking its only like or equal to about 1500 watt's is this correct???
Don't worry about it, they are made for it.It won't fuck it up running it for say 2 hours on, 10 mins off on hot days??
Both, if you can, but the floor of the attic is what tends to get insulated during construction, so that's where it's probably most effective.Insulate the attic roof or floors?.. Yeah my attic in the hot summer is prob 120 degrees
