Outside fan and inside fan running. All fuses good, and most importantly the compressor kicks on and is also running. But line from compressor is not getting cold, just a lttle cool. What else can I check. Its been about 3 years since the last time it was charged. But I was told that should be sufficant...Unit is about 8 years old....Anything else I can do??? And if I need a AC Charge or leak check does anyone know how much it would cost or at least a fair amount it should cost? Thanks !!!:(

The system should never need to be recharged so it sound like your have a leak. Freon should cost about 30-40 dollars a pound. Your probly about 3 pounds low depending on size of unit. But you probly want a leak search done so your not doing this again in two years.
