Thanks to all for the replies. Just as info. I didn't ask the question or go into this repair half cocked. The system had seemed to be running excessively trying to maintain a comfortable room temp. First thing I did was clean the filters. There are 2 in my unit which is built into the corner of a hallway, with filter grilles on both walls. Next I cleaned the A coils,bottom and top, with a vacuum cleaner, followed by Cal-spray evap foam no rinse cleaner. Next came cleaning the condenser coils, with pink coil cleaner. The label is gone from the jug, and I don't remember the brand. All of this produced a little improvement, but 40 years of working on automotive systems told me the unit was not up to par. Rather than taking a chance on overcharging the system, I called my expert friend whom, I may have mentioned is in the HVAC business. I may need to mention that as my monicer implies, my location is Mississippi, and we have been hovering around triple digit temps for a month. HVAC systems are working hard, and some are failing, which is why Phil has been so busy. He stopped over on his way home from work after 9:PM, looked at my gages and made the 2 lb. diagnosis. He would have added the freon, but had used all that he had on his truck that day. As most of you may know, 22 is getting hard to come by now that it has been replaced in the new systems. I knew that I had some 15 year old 15oz, cans on hand, but waited for daylight to find them. 2 cans brought the temps in line. Thanks again for everyone's help.
