Just got done with my spring tune-up/check up. This is what I have...

Amana:
ASZ16036
AMV809
TXV on 4-ton coil

Ambient temp 74
Indoor temp was approx 78

All measurements on first stage cooling

Blower motor .5 A
RT 76
ST 53
TD 23
Discharge pressure 225 psi
Suction Pressure 130 psi
Condenser fan .74 A (249V)
Compressor 6.89 A (249V)


Do these all seem good, bad, horrible?

Is there anything that can be extracted from these numbers? I'd like to get an idea of how efficient my system is running.

No, not really as far as eff. goes - not enough info. However temp split for evap looks good, pressures look ok can't give you superheat, again not enough info

what more would you need?

The relative humidity at the time was about 47% inside the house if that helps.
