Default air conditioning issues

Hey all,
I am wondering if you can help me out.
I just got my AC fixed.
New compressor
New dryer
New tube
New freon
New belt
Flushed and all

OK the issue is when it is running it will get really cold, then it will be cool (at least you can feel a difference in the temp as it is no longer fridgid), then it will get cold again, and then cool..... it keeps cycling around like this.

I am wondering why this is happening now, and what is the fix for it.

Thanks for the advice

Have you checked for any codes? Maybe the HVAC actuator or actuators but that's just a guess.

Have it checked once more for a possible small leak. It sounds like a possible low charge issue.
