I guess I could scan and post the receipt? Or maybe my sarcasm didn't come through - I didn't miss anything or misunderstand - the Tech didn't purge or vacuum.

I was charged $$ for 7 lbs.
5.25#'s. 25' line set. Carrier 38BRC024310.
Call back today from the Service Manager. Good call, but apparently I missed a lot.
I misunderstood that...
I don't know how it decided the total charge. I'll contact the company owner tomorrow. Chat him up a bit.
Start to finish a solid hour. It was cooling, ever so slightly, before the call.
Installed in early 2000. Carrier Blue Dot? I think
Yes. 78 drg. return, 55.8 drg. outlet.
I think the lessoned I've learned is I should have asked you guys first, before the job.
It was his conviction that charging by weight was acceptable. Is seven pounds plus the reserved two pounds reasonable for a 2 ton system with 25' line set?
SC - Sub Cooling. He was using an analog gauge set. Never measured the liquid line temperature. And I asked. Said he was charging by weight.
No vacuum? Are you sure.
Yes, I'm sure.
Yes, he did replace the drier.
And no, did not charge to SC.
Pumped back into compressor. No pressure or vacuum test. Added 7#.
No, not second guessing, just using this opportunity as a teaching moment for me.
Liquid line.

This question is related to my thread. If I'm not violating any forum rules, about how much would it cost to replace a evaporator coil? 5 ton Carrier Infinity system.
My local Pro had previously injected two tubes of leak detector to assist with a search for a small but persistant leak.
Odd that he didn't think this was evidence of that leak?
What would be the source of the oil?
What is leak lock?
What would cause this residue to collect on valve stem?
To their credit, airflow was checked before and after cleaning and changes but I don't have the test results.
I'll get a second opinion. The current contractor has never suggested replacing...
Yes, the condenser sits outside of the attic area, on the roof, in an alley along with everyone else's unit (not the best environment)
The unit has been under contract the entire time. Twice a...
No kinks in the line set. I can see the entire line set.
No programable thermostat.
The one observation that has stuck with me was the time the system was evacuated and recharged. As the tech...
Blower on high speed - good air flow.
R22
No TXV - orifice
Line set length no more than 15'
I think 5 drg SH is the spec for this unit?
inlet/outlet differences - best is about 18 drg to worst...
