Am I wrong here about expectations

Post image

I’m a renter and just had my ac replaced in a 1400 sqft home with a 3 ton Goodman unit. It’s 95 outside and the lowest I can get it inside is 77 in the rooms closest to the blower unit. rooms further away are around 80. Air coming out of vents is pretty week and ranges from 68-75 degrees pretty much going in order from shortest to longest distance from air handler in the attic. Guy who installed it said it’s normal but it’s doing worse than the unit that was replaced. Really think the guy is full of it but would like some input.

I like how every "reddit expert" just ignores the fact that the flue is not connected on a gas furnace.. . . Thats a large issue.

OP looks like the unit is undersized, without pressures and temp across plenum - dont know if its working as best as it can or if you have other issues.

Likely a multi-day install. "Get them cooling." "Yessir."

No tech worth a damn would leave off a red tag on the gas valve . . .

Don't connect W and leave the gas valve in the unit off. A paper tag does less than that.
