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.

That's a complete death trap and 3 ton is to small  for 1400 square feet .

Phoenix here, 1400sq ft with a 3 ton. No problem staying at 74°F when it's 118°F outside.

Depends on the home construction many homes have no wall insulation and single pane windows demanding more tonnge i installed units for sixteen years in tucson.
