Works for the coffee maker -- why not the A/C

At any rate, I'll monitor any build-up and take photos as needed.

I have a question for anyone familiar with heating and air...

The A/C engages the blower fan at a slower speed than the heat. I found this out through the thermostat, which has an "Auto" setting for heat or air. I turned the blower into the "On" position and noted that the speed slowed for the A/C compressor. After 5-minutes of compressor shutdown, the blower speed went back up to full revs.

The system constantly runs in the hot Summer months. Would it be better to resolve the speed issue and run it on full -- or is it like a car, where cooler air can be felt without the use of excess fan speed???
