A bit subjective but it should be uncomfortable to hold your hand in
front of a vent when on full blast for any length of time. If I do this
on my wife's if makes my hand hurt after a minute or so even in this
weather.
If it doesn't feel like it's working properly then it probably isn't has
been my experience of air con ...
Maybe there's gas but not enough?

Subject: [ELCO] A/C performance
It's hot, and while the A/C in my 80 is working I'm not sure that it's
doing as well as it should.
There is definitely gas in the system: I can see fluid in the sight
glass, and hear the evaporator hissing away.
The pump is definitely pumping: high pressure pipe is hot, low pressure
cooler, sight glass shows fluid flow.
I had a leak fixed and the system regassed about 2 years ago.
And it is definitely cooling air ... but just not as much as I'd like
and, more to the point, less effectively than I remember. But that's a
very qualitative judgement.
Is there any simple way of measuring its efficiency, and estimating
whether or not I need to take some action?
