York Affinity Series 3S (13 SEER) 3.5-ton central air-conditioner running on a really humid day

This is my friend's 3.5-ton York Affinity Series 3S (13 SEER) central air-conditioner from 2006. It is a straight-cool unit, not a heat pump, and it is matched up with an air handler. The central A/C system has no heating capability whatsoever. The home's heating system is the original hot water baseboard heating system, with an oil-fired boiler. The house is located kind of out in the boonies, so there is no natural gas or propane, and it has no public water or sewage. There are a well and a septic tank located on the property. The house was built in 1961, and DID NOT originally have central A/C. It is a 2-story, 4 bedroom, 2½ bathroom colonial, with approximately 2,200-2,300 square feet of central air-conditioned living space. The house also has a decent-sized finished basement that is NOT air-conditioned. The central air and the heating system are separate from each other, and are controlled by separate thermostats. The air handler for the A/C system is located up in the attic, and because of the unique construction of the old house, the contractors had to get a little creative with the installation of the ductwork. They could not fit all of the ducts out of sight, and in one first floor closet, a duct is hanging down from the ceiling. This DOES NOT affect the performance of the A/C system, it just looks unsightly and takes up space. The thermostat for the A/C is located in the hallway on the second floor, and the switch says "COOL", "OFF", and "HEAT", so it could be used with a split-system straight-cool central air-conditioner and a gas or oil furnace, but like I said, the central A/C is not matched up with any heating system and there is NO forced air heat. The thermostat for the central air is located on the second floor. The heating system is separate from the A/C system, and the heat-only thermostat is located in the family room on the first floor. The house was built in 1961 and always had oil hot water baseboard heat, but the boiler was replaced in the early 1990s. The current boiler is a 1990 Trianco. I have no idea what its heating capacity/BTU output is. Everybody is entitled to their opinion about what central air-conditioners are good, and which ones are piece of junk, but I think the York Affinity Series line of air-conditioners and heat pumps are among the best available. They are incredibly quiet thanks to their Quiet-Drive fan system with swept-wing fan blades and compressor sound blankets. I know a few people who own York Affinity units, and they are very impressed with the performance, efficiency, quality, and durability of them. My friend's house is by no means a mansion, but it is a fairly large house, and this single 3.5-ton central A/C unit does an excellent job of keeping both the 1st and 2nd levels cool and comfortable! However, the finished basement is often miserable in the summer.
