It sounds like you had a techie out, and he added some freon. No, it's not
normal to lose a couple pounds in six years.

If the leak is slow, the system might work for a couple more years. On the
other hand, it might be an easy to repair leak.

In addition, after a couple years, your system likely needs cleaning, which
is essential. Dust clogged coils don't work very well. May be costing you
electricity wasted, and system not running very well.

Hi Home Repair Gurus..

Is it normal for an brand new AC unit (installed in a newly built home)
to require replacing about half the freeon (say about 2 pounds worth)
after about 6 years..

My AC recently stopped blowing cool air (even though the fan is on),
even after replacing the filter, and the AC tech said that there was
some freezing that had occurred due to a lack of freeon, and that it had
to be replaced..

Thanks
