Feeling Robbed out of $5,000 - New 13 Seer inferior to 18 year old 10 Seer

Before the original installer charged your system, did you see him
connect a vacuum pump to the system?
It would have sounded like a small air compressor running for quite
a few hours?

Yep, no doubt.

And a "kink on the weld" of the LL dryer...Unfortunately it
wouldn't be the first time a 5/16" or 3/8" filter was pinched down
over a ¼" line.

This is what happens when they pass out the keys to the vans, to
bullshiters who are just knowledgeable enough to get the job ticket
signed.

He thought this as well, that or a clogged dryer, either way how else
would you attach the dryer or you just saying he was a shitty welder?

Bad work ethics, poor training, lack of concern, etc...
