I had a piece of metal go through my A/C condenser about 3 years ago, and since then of course I've had no cold air. After that long a period of time what parts should I expect to have to replace to get cool air once again. Thanks in advance!!

Hi prelude99,

The minimum would be the condenser, receiver drier and flushing of the system. On the extreme side, as the system is exposed to the atmosphere, other components such as cooling coil and compressor could be contaminated or damaged due to oxidations and contaminations.
