I'm assuming you have a package unit (heating and cooling in one unit) opposed to a split system (furnace, blower, and indoor A/C coil in one location and the A/C compressor in another.) every unit will have a identification sticker, located on the outside of the unit cabinet with all the specifacations for that unit, it will also include the amount of refrigerant the factory charged the unit with. Now if you have a split system, the factory charged the outside unit with enough refrigerent to handle a 15-20 foot line set( the copper lines running from the outside unit to the indoor A/C coil) that amount can also be found on the outside unit ID sticker.
