We had an old ac unit that set at 78 would keep me perfectly cool. It finally quit working and we had it replaced. We have to keep the thermostat set at 76 now to keep the same cool. 78 is just too darn hot.
Have you heard that from anyone else?

Newer more efficient unit (higher BTU, maybe?) cools the house down quicker, but now is not running long enough to remove the moisture (humidity) from the air.

75 degrees at 50% humidity is a lot more comfortable than 75 degrees at 85% humidity.

Same thermostat, or new? If new, it may just be a sensor calibration difference. The sensors used are not the most accurate.
