It sounds as though the ac has done this for a long time,may be since it were new.Does it cool good when it is on?Or does it take a long time for it to do the job?I am thinking,from day one the ac unit was charged,incorrectly,There is air in the system,and not the proper amount of freon.This would give a tech.a false reading if he where to attach ac gauges up to read pressures.It has happened before.The ac units are charged with a machine,and between freon and the machine it traps air,and pushes it in the system.The machine is set to a certain amount of freon to charge.When the machine senses that amount of freon has been injected into the unit,it shuts off.My advice would be to evacuate and recharge the system to spects,with manual gauges.This would assure the right amount of freon,and the tech.would be able to do this with his eyes closed,and know it is done right,ac men know there gauges,I know,for I am one myself.Let me know some feedback on this
