I paid 75$ extra to my AC contractor to have the ESA done after the installation and they never showed up. Yesterday I follow up with ESA and they advised me the inspector passed it as everything was looking good from outside. What a scam..

Hmmm,
unless this inspector looked at the main panel to check the breaker then your AC was not inspected. In fact, to do the job properly, he should look inside the panel. You should ask for your money back. All the outdoor inspection does is tell you what to look for inside at the panel.
Recently I was at a home when the ESA guy showed up. He asked to come into the home and check the main panel after he looked at the AC unit outside.
The AC unit outside always shows what breaker size is required, so he checked that, then, in the home he looked at the main panel, said everything was OK and left.
The problem is that most sloppy or poor wiring that is typical of AC installers is actually inside the panel. To see it, the cover must be removed. I'm not sure why the people with authority, that are there to protect us, are so lax in their attitude and work.
