We purchased a VERY Old house (1921) and everything is ok on it so far, we updated almost everything inside and out, we even have a brand new A/C unit, my question is: Why the AC runs all the time?, i know that when is 100 degrees outside you can't help it but i think it's not right to be running for like 30 min. stops for 5min. and starts again, is this ok?, i know is not! but can someone give me some advice?, the last thing i did was cellulose in the attic (like 10"), the ceiling is 9 feet tall, we have ceiling fans all over the house (ac is 2,5 ton) , BUT!, the last thing i saw was THE WALLS!!!, they are about 3 inches thick!!!. Since it's a wood frame, stucco on the outside, and 1/2 inch new drywall and that's IT?, can THAT be the problem on why we can't keep the house COOL?, no leaks on windows (brand new). Can i add 2x4 studs, insulation and then another layer of drywall to make it feel better???, what's the solution here??? Thanks for ALL the help.
