Summer in Bakersfield does not creep in. It arrives. By June you need an A/C system that does its job from the first crank.
Check the cabin air filter first. A clogged filter is the cheapest fix for weak airflow.
Listen for the compressor cycling. If it short cycles, the refrigerant charge may be low.
Inspect the belt for cracks. A slipping belt steals A/C performance.
Smell test the vents. A musty smell is mold in the evaporator. We can clean it.
Schedule a recharge if it has been more than two summers. Slow leaks are normal.
