Now, with that said, check to see what kind of air loss you are getting. Are your windows sealed and caulked. Are any windows open. (I know...I had to ask.) Are exhaust fans running?

On average how long should an air unit run?
I live in a modular home and have had repairs done to the unit. It was icing up and a leak. That was fixed. The technician changed the thermostat to an updated honewell which displays the inside temp. I have the thermostat set on 89 because the inside is always 89 and I can't afford to set it at 78 or 80. Even on 89 it runs for hours. The inside displays 89 and the thermostat is set on 89, but it still does not cut off. What can I do?On average how long should an air unit run?You said the lines and have been checked, leaks fixed, and lines recharged. You have a new thermostat that I assume is set to %26quot;Auto%26quot; and not fan only. As a retired Manufactured Home dealer who has sold many AC units, I can tell you that those units will run practically non-stop on hot days. This does not sound A-Typical. I found that setting the thermostat to a comfortable level will not skyrocket your electrical bill. I did exactly what you are doing. I just found that setting it cooler did not make a substantial difference in the bill. Like you said, it runs for hours now already. If it is going to run, get some benefit from the $ you are spending and let it get you some cool air in the house.
