There is a good chance the start capacitor has failed. If you need refrigerant that means you have a leak, most likely in the evaporator coil. Please post the diagnosis when you get it. Hopefully it is something simple/inexpensive such as the start capacitor.

We turned on all of the ceiling fans and this morning it was still 81 and not really uncomfortable. It is now 3:22 and it is 84. I have all of the shades closed. Not uncomfortable if you are under a fan.
I think it is pretty good when the outside temperature is 98 and the inside is 84.
We have a block and stucco house.
Just wanted to share this. The house is almost six years old and the air has been on almost every day in that time. I hope it is just a Freon charge.
