Just a simple test.
I'm assuming this is a 'central air conditioner' and not a window unit.

Why "assume" when the subject line is "Central Air Problem"???

By not working I also assume it's not cooling.

Jeeze, she said THAT too...

Beside the issue of adequate cooling gas, a common reason for intermittent
cooling is a dirty 'A' coil in the plenum.
If you have an access panel, that you can open and find the A coil 'iced'
up, that means inadequate air is passing through usually due to dirt, dog
hair, dust clogging the fins.

But she said air is blowing out of the vents, didn't she? Will air blow
through a clogged or frozen 'A' coil? Please explain yourself....

A qualified service man will use compressed air and vacuum to clean it.


I've always seen them use a spray-on cleaner.
