To properly diagnose any air conditioner problem you first have to check the Freon level and pressure inside the system. You use special A/C gauges to do this, and you need some knowledge of how A/C systems operate

.If the system is low on Freon, then you need to use a Freon leak detector to help you locate where the source of the leak is coming from. Since Freon is a gas, you can not just look for it to leak out somewhere.

Once you locate the source of the leak, then the mechanic can quote the repairs. A/C work is expensive, so just replacing a small A/C hose can be $100.

Good luck!
