A system running but not cooling almost always comes down to charge, airflow, or a failing component — we test all three.
A tech who explains superheat and subcooling readings instead of just saying 'it's low on freon'.
If you're dealing with warm air blowing from the vents, ice forming on the copper line, or a condenser fan that's stopped spinning outside, you already know a system that's technically running but not actually cooling the house is one of the most misdiagnosed HVAC complaints there is.
