I have a 3 ton unit inside (coils) bryant. I was told to put a 2.5 ton heat pump out side for best performance. Why should they not both be 3 ton's

2 year old bryant 3 ton inside and a new bryant legacy 223r outside

I do not like mismatched system due to poor humidity control. Get a second opinion.

I had a new heat pump installed yesterday. It comes precharged for a 15 foot run. I have a run of 30". It looks like a little escaped during the hookup and they did not add any to the system. It runs very cool, but how do I know if it is low. Should they have added for the extra 15" and the little that escaped?

They came back today and added R-22. He said he added a little too much about 1/2 pound, but that it was ok and it would help heat the house in the winter. Is this right?
