I suspect your ducting is not connected, crushed or ripped and you are losing most of the cool air. There was cool air coming from the ducts...just not enough of it.
How did you get that fixed?
Got to the big box store and get a couple of rolls of the aluminum tape. Take down each vent and seal the edge. Take off the A/C ceiling assembly and tape all of the duct joins, making sure that there is no bypassing air between the inlet and the outlet. You may need to tape the edges of the fan housings. The A/C manufacturers do a horrible job of sealing the units and the installers do an equally poor job of sealing the units at installation.
