No transition...not good for airflow (or the equipment).

No. That's not okay. The airflow is now severely restricted. You need a transition from the new unit to the existing ductwork.

I'm now curious as to how the whole install looks.

Considering how the inside looks, I wonder if they adjusted the variable speed air handler from the factory setting of 5 tons (~1800 cfm on that particular model) to 3.5 tons (~1400 cfm max). How is the noise and force of air from the vents?

I would have this corrected. 3.5 tons for 1400 sqft? Very likely oversized. Perhaps double what your home's actual load dictates. Not good for efficiency, comfort, or longevity (especially the way yours was installed). At the very least, beyond (properly) installing properly sized equipment, I would want the transition corrected and air handler speed set properly.

Could we see a pic a little farther out showing complete duct

thanks,,,and i think its too big 3.5 ton I got 1400 sgf,, ac runs for only 3-9 minutes,,

you should not be touching this unit. Call the installers, send a registered letter but do not touch it.

[SBKold]

Sounds wayyy to big.

That install is junk. I hate when people get this kind of service.
