Is there any way I can tell if my air conditioner needs refrigerant?

SSRSOUNY - Consumer Section - Frequently Asked Questions
Poor cooling. If your air conditioner isn't putting out much cold air, it could be low on refrigerant. But an A/C system can still produce cool air even if it has lost up to 50% of its original charge of refrigerant. Even so, output will be reduced. If the system is working properly, it should blow air that is approximately 50 degrees cooler than the ambient air temperature. Poor cooling, however, doesn't necessarily mean the refrigerant is low. You might have another kind of problem.

What do I do if the refrigerant is leaking out of my air conditioner?

Canton Heating Company | Canton Cooling Company | Canton Hea...
Refrigerant leaking is no simple matter. Gone are the days when it was more economical to just add more refrigerant to the unit and ignore the leak. Today it is against the law to knowingly allow an air conditioner to leak, and it is also very expensive. This will depend on the type and make of your central air conditioner, however all central air units require some clearance from trees and shrubs to allow for air flow around the condensing coil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Central air conditioning helps keep your home cool and reduces humidity levels.

McCullough Heating and Air Conditioning - Austin's ventilati...
In the summer, a heat pump works in exactly the same way as an air conditioner, i.e., cooling your home or office by moving heat from the inside to the outside. In the winter, a heat pump operates in “reverse”, moving heat from the outside to the inside of your home or office. Even though it feels "cold" outside during the winter, there is still plenty of heat in the air that can be captured by a heat pump.
