And where to buyrefrigerant to fill it?I was told that as long as my AC is giving cool air, its refrigerant levelis fine?

1)You need EPA certification to service the unit.2) If it's releasing more than fifteen percent of its charge over thecourse of a year, the EPA requires the system to be repaired ratherthan repeatedly recharged. ThomasParagon Home Inspection, LLCmdt@paragoninspectsDOTcom847-475-5668

It is just as common for the small pipe (the liquid line) to be at or close to ambient temperature.
