Of course, if you are in Minnesota you should not need as much cooling capacity as we do in Sarasota, Fl. :)
Some thing to keep in mind when comparing cooling design conditions between FL and MN, is that while dry bulb summer design temps may be as close as 5 degrees, the grains of moisture difference at 50% rh indoor in MN can be as low as 15 while FL can be as high as 66. What this means is that the latent load on a cooling system in FL can be significantly greater than a cooling system in MN at the same dry bulb temps. While some are content to ignore latent loads on cooling systems when diagnosing a cooling problem, that will not make the load go away.
