The answer will depend on where your home is: I suspect that there will be a big difference between a home in the Arctic and one in the Gulf States. That will determine the range of ambient temperatures. It will also depend on what you consider to be a desirable temperature.

Other factors to consider: insolation and solar gain, insulation and air circulation, whether or not there are other steps taken to lower the ambient temperature. For example, a house in the middle of trees will be cooler than one surrounded by lawns, and that will be cooler than one with concrete all around.

How do you size a ac condenser for a home?

Have a Manual J heat load calculation performed on the home. This would normally be part of the process of obtaining an estimate from a contractor. Then size your ac unit to equal the amount of heat gain indicated on the load calculaton.
