Hi,
The AC wasn?t cooling properly. The mechanic added some freeon (?) and it started working again but only for a WEEK! Now, it blows just warm air! I live in the South, which is super-hot. Any ideas/solutions?
Thanks a lot!
you've got a leak that needs repair.

Thanks JeB but the mechanic checked for leaks and didn?t find anything. Any other ideas/suggestions?
If it was blowing hot and the mech added freon then it blew cold for a short while ( a few days) but now is blowing hot again, you have a leak.
If the leak is located in the evaporator coil, where many are, they can be difficult to see (find) without taking the dash apart to get to it.
Take it to a different shop. Have your checkbook ready.
My 96 Honda Accord EX (Canadian model) had the same problem last year. It was evaporator leaking. I had to replace the evaporator. It costed 70 CAD (58 USD) for adding R134 with dye to detect the leak and 450 CAD (370 USD) to replace the evaporator with a used one from a 98 model. BTW, the evaporator leak is a common problem for 94-97 Honda Accord due to design. Need to replace it with some newer design.
