A THIRD possibility is that your ducts are not all connected and you may
be cooling your attic. I spent untold dollars last summer trying to keep
the house at 75 degrees but could only manage a 10 degree temperature
differential with the outside temperature. During the winter, I had the
ducts replaced and found out some of the existing connections were leaking
air to the attic.

This summer even in our current 100 degree plus weather, the house stays
at 75 without having to run the A/C constantly. Take a reading of the air
temperature coming out of the vents. It should be in the 60's at minimum.
