Murdock Heating & Air Conditioning | Experienced HVAC Repair in Athens, GA

Common signs include frequent repairs, uneven heating or cooling, strange noises, a significant increase in your energy bills, and the system being over 10-15 years old. Athens' humidity can strain older units, making them work harder and less efficiently. We can perform a thorough evaluation to determine if a repair is sufficient or if a replacement would be more cost-effective and reliable for your home.

Signs of mold in ductwork include a musty odor when the system runs, visible mold growth around vents, or an increase in allergy symptoms at home. Our team uses specialized inspection tools and can perform professional duct cleaning to safely remove mold, dust, and debris. We also check for and seal duct leaks, which are common in older Athens homes and a primary cause of moisture buildup that leads to mold.

We recommend bi-annual maintenance: a tune-up in the spring for your AC before the hot Georgia summer and one in the fall for your heater. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive service helps catch small issues before they become major repairs, improves efficiency to lower bills, and extends the life of your system, which is crucial for managing the wear from our local climate.
