But AC by itself is a loser...
I've never experienced that. What I have experienced is UNDER-SIZED and FAILING air conditioning installations.
I'm a fan of BTU over-kill heat pump and air conditioning systems with both variable speed compressors and variable speed circulation fans. I sized and picked out the air-to-air heat pump currently in our home. It has handled all outside temperature or outside humidity conditions with ease - putting our home at any temperature we want regardless of what's going on outside temperature-wise (including still continuing to heat with only high 20's outside tempertures!) or humidity-wise. Whisper quiet when it needs to be ... but powerful as all get out when it needs to be.
Over-sized A/C is the name of the game ... if everything in the unit is variable under automatic control. Also, those scroll compressors are wonderful.
