My ac compressor and vac line is frozen again for the second this week! Do I just need a charge, i have also had to replace the capacitor twice this summer as well. I would appreciate any help or advise on this topic I can get. Thanks

Have you checked your air filter and evaporator coil to make sure that are clean. If clean and your indoor blower is working you are low on freon. If the system is low I would recommend having the leak found and repaired. The leak doesn't have to be repaired as no laws govern leaks in systems with less than 50 pounds of refrigerant. Some companies will try to tell you otherwise, they're just blowing smoke.
