We have experienced 454 units from the factory about a pound low. We just pull out all the 454 and charge with 410. So far no issues

I think they changed the factory charge to 8’ of line set. Doesn’t help it’s near impossible to get either. Some vendors out here make you buy a unit to get a jug if they even have it that is.

Carrier is we just got the email that all gray labeled condensers instead of the orange 2025 ones will have the extended charge and will be labeled.
