How did you have the system charged (filled) with freon?
Was it evacuated first?

yes go have it evacuated and filled correctly, this way you know that you have the correct amount in it, and they could also tell you if you have a leak in the system (when they evacuate it it SHOULD hold vacum, if not find the leak)

Evacuating also pulls out any moisture that is in the system.
Moisture is bad
