Default 1990 Honda Accord LX

I recently recharged my A/C but now instead of blowing hot air it's blowing warm air. The heater works great. Can someone please let me know what might be the issue?

1. you don't have enough refrigerant in the system
2. your compressor/clutch isn't working

So how would I find out which one is the problem? It blows warm air even when it's off.

If it always blow warm air, take a look at the heater control water valve located in the engine compartment. Check to see if it is fully closed.

When the heater is turned on, the heater control water valve is opened which allows heated coolant into the heater core (inside the cabin). The blower fan is blowing the air heated by the heater core. The water valve on your car may not be fully closed.

The blower works normally? Set it to pull in just outside air and roughly same air speed out of all vents?
