AC problems

Okay so I havent found anything about this yet; hoping someone knows whats up. AC blows hot air ; doesn't need refrigerant though (added some and nothing worked) ac blows hot air. Whats the problem? I can fix it myself I just wanna know whats wrong without having someone charge me 100$ just to look at it.

Grant, what year is your car? Do you see the AC compressor clutch engaging when you turn on the AC?

If the AC works but you still get hot air, it could be that there is something wrong with the cold/hot air mixing inside the dashboard HVAC unit
