I think you are referring to the Air conditioning system, but not clear. Can you please elaborate on your problem and concerns.

The first step is to put a set of pressure gauges on it. The high/low side pressure readings will tell a lot about how the system is working.

If the freon is low, you'll need to find out why. That's when you'll need some sort of leak detection equipment.
