In most cases an AC system will begin to blow warm air due to low refrigerant but occasionally will be due to a bad compressor or condenser. I would first check the refrigerant pressure to determine if there are any leaks. I recommend enlisting a certified mechanic to inspect your AC system to determine what repairs are needed.
