My air conditioner wsa recharged last year and didn't last long. It's blowing hot air, and I can hear the unit coming on. Could it be a bad compressor

If rechaging it makes it cool then it slowly go warm over time then I would suspect a leak in it letting out the freon into the air. Be a very tiny leak but possible, check the pressure of the system to see if its the compressor or not.

How do I check the pressure in the compressor? Do they sell something?
