My a/c takes a long time to cool. It takes atleast 20 minsto get comfortable inside. I checked the freon and the compressor and they both work fine.

While looking under the hood, I observed the a/c hose passes in front of the engine and there is a lot of hot air blowing onto the hose. I see this hose is well insulated but I still have 2 questions.

1. Can I redirect the a/c hose so that it is cooler and more efficiet?
2. Would it help if I wrap another layer of insulation on it?

Or do you guys have any other suggestions?

1. Yes, but it wont help anything.
2. No

 

My guess as to why it won't cool is the lack of freon or r134a.

Run a pressure and coolant test

 

coolant test??

check the pulley belt, use leak detecting dye for leak.

since you said the feron level is good, and compressor is working right.
