What causes AC lines to get hot?
An issue called “high superheat” can be caused by not enough refrigerant in the system, a kink or restriction in the refrigerant line, a malfunctioning metering component or a hot-liquid line too close to the compressor, such as a hot-water pipe. If the compressor is short-cycling, this also can cause overheating.
Is it too hot for my AC to work?
HVAC systems are designed for an average temperature in your area. Your system is also designed to cool to a maximum of 20º below the temperature outside. So when we are having average temperatures, you should have no problem cooling to 70º or 71º if you like.

Once the temperature is reached, the inverter compressor in the outdoor unit will slow down and eventually stop. When the temperature in the room falls heating will resume.
