Frequently asked questions
AC condenser fins are bent from stones in Hyderabad — does it need replacing?
Bent condenser fins reduce airflow through the condenser, reducing AC cooling efficiency — but a condenser with bent fins isn't necessarily leaking. If the AC is still cooling adequately, bent fins can be carefully straightened with a fin comb (₹1,000–₹3,000). If the condenser is actually leaking (visible oily residue, AC gas loss), it needs replacement. Metre Per Second inspects condensers and advises honestly on repair vs replacement.
