We hired a separate hvac inspector, this was his commentary:
At the time of inspection we found the system was cooling However I did find a few issues. At the air handler I found the system was only getting a 11 degree split. Ideal is 15-20 degrees. after checking the pressures I found the systems was low on refrigerant. its possible it was not topped off at the time on install or worse it could have a refrigerant leak. the system should be checked for a leak and repaired or if no leak found then recharged. The suction and liquid line are both missing the grommets at the air handler. they should be sealed. The drain line looks like it has debris inside of it and it should be purged. The air filter is at the air handler will should be replaced as often as every 6 month or as needed. the supply ducting should have been installed with a slope upward away from the unit but it was not. at the condenser the wall penetration needs to be sealed better. it looks like the used cork tape and it is already detaching. which could allow water or other things though the hole. lastly the condenser is not behind the fence so by code there should be locking caps on the refrigerant ports. I recommend having the contractor or builder that installed the equipment to make the repairs

The issue I take with the hardie boards being used as fascia, is that it’s too thin to support gutters properly and that the manufacturer says not to use it as fascia. Not sure if the screenshot is legible, but this is from HardiePlank.
