Why your AC may not be cooling in Patna's heat — quick checks you can do yourself, what technicians inspect, and what common repairs cost. Book a ₹399 service visit.
Quick checks before you book a technician
In Patna's peak summer, an AC that runs but does not cool is usually caused by one of a handful of issues. Before booking, try these safe checks: clean or rinse the dust filters (clogged filters are the most common cause during Patna's dusty months), confirm the remote is set to Cool mode with the temperature set well below room temperature, and make sure doors and windows are closed. If the indoor unit blows air but the outdoor unit is silent, the problem is likely electrical or gas-related and needs a professional.
- •Dirty filters or blocked airflow
- •Low refrigerant (gas) from a slow leak
- •Weak capacitor or compressor relay
- •Thermostat or sensor faults
- •Voltage fluctuations stressing the outdoor unit
What a Zaddy Fixit technician checks
A standard AC service visit (from ₹399) covers filter and coil cleaning, drainage check, gas-pressure inspection and a full performance test. If the fault needs a repair — for example a capacitor replacement or gas refill after leak repair — the technician shares a digital quotation first and starts chargeable work only after you approve it. Repair labour on eligible jobs carries a workmanship warranty.
What common AC repairs cost in Patna
Service visits start at ₹399, and inspection findings are priced transparently in the app. Simple electrical part replacements are typically in the low hundreds of rupees; refrigerant work depends on gas type and quantity. You always see the estimate before any chargeable work begins, and parts are billed separately at shown rates.
Safety first
Switch the AC off at the isolator or MCB if you notice a burning smell, sparking, water dripping onto electrical parts, or the outdoor unit making grinding noises. Do not open the outdoor unit or attempt gas handling yourself — refrigerant work requires certified tools.

FAQs
How much does AC repair cost in Patna?
A service visit starts at ₹399. Repairs are quoted after inspection and start only after your approval; the final cost depends on the fault and any parts needed.
My AC trips the MCB when it starts — is that serious?
Yes, treat it as an electrical fault. Stop using the AC, leave the MCB off, and book an inspection — repeated resets can damage the compressor.
