Thanks Section327 - I passed that information along.

I don't think a 5 ton unit on your size house seems off at all. Even with the spray foam. Keep in mind that the poster above is correct about the "in between" months. That is, October-November and March-April. Things get bad when its 60-70 degrees outside and you get high humidity outside or a few rainy days. Your going to have some 60-70% indoor humidity days. The AC isn't running enough to dehumidify the moisture getting in. I have had this problem in every house I have ever owned. You have a couple of options:
1.) Install a whole house dehumidifier to take are of those "in between" months. That would be an extreme option.
2.) Set the temp a little lower during these months so it runs a little more to reduce moisture levels.
3.) Run bathroom fans when showering and run the vent-a-hood when boiling pots and cooking. That helps alot. I know you said nobody is in the house, but for when you do move in.
I would not make any judgments on the A/C until you get into the summer and see what the duty cycles look like with a higher heat load on it.
