Call the service tech back in a couple of months for a check up.
Explain to him clearly your concerns. The performance and gage
readings at that time should allay your worries. Repeat next year and
if no major deviations show up, your system will probably be trouble
free for a number of years. IMO a pound or so of refrigerant is no big
deal in new system.
