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.
