You’re absolutely correct. Specially with 20-year-old units. You have to check that evaporator coil.

I am just a ham and egger but a renter was complaining about the AC not cooling. The AC compressor was running, the AC was blowing, so, I didn't know what was going on. The AC guy, who may have had a drug problem, said it was fine. The property manager wanted to buy some sort of portable AC unit. I told him he was crazy because he had an operational system and told him to have someone who knows what he is doing look at it. Sure enough, the guy said the heat and AC were running at the same time but I don't know how he fixed it. It was a hot air system, I don't know. The AC and gas were all firing at the same time. It did have one of those fancy wifi thermostats

Spending the price of a new unit on repairing a 20 year old unit isn’t worth it. Anything can be fixed, sometimes it just makes no sense. Put that money into new equipment. Usually I’d get it by until it needs major leak repairs, coils or a compressor. Hard start kits aren’t expensive
