Has anybody else ran into this and if so, have you brought this up to the developer?
You should be able to get the heat loss calculation for your home which will have the required size of the HVAC system from the county building department. This should answer all of your questions. Then if the calculation shows a different size, you can call home warranty, to find out who installed it and request the correct sized unit.
