3. Recharge was for 2.5 lb ($50)
4. Main culprit was floor guys running the AC whole day so it caused icing of the coils
5. There was a tiny leak which JC's say can be fixed with $85 additive to Freon

Never in my life I was so happy to pay $300 for any house repairs.
5 thumbs up fpr JC's owner John Carmichael.
The additive is worth a try, but definitely not a guaranteed fix. I would be looking at options for a new HVAC system.
