Murphy's HVAC - South Yarmouth's Professional HVAC Services

Our coastal location means we deal with high pollen counts in spring and summer, plus sand and salt air particulates year-round. These can quickly clog standard air filters, forcing your system to work harder and reducing efficiency. We recommend checking filters monthly and using higher-quality pleated filters, especially during peak allergy seasons, to protect your HVAC system and your indoor air quality.

Freezing often occurs in damp, uninsulated areas like crawl spaces or attics. The best prevention is proper insulation of your refrigerant lines and drain pipes. As part of our seasonal maintenance, we inspect and add insulation where needed. Also, keeping your thermostat at a consistent temperature, even when you're away, helps maintain enough warmth in these spaces to prevent freezing.

Bi-annual maintenance is crucial. A tune-up in the fall prepares your heating system for winter, checking for issues that could lead to frozen pipes. A spring check-up ensures your AC is ready for summer and addresses any filter or coil issues from the high-pollen season. This proactive approach is the most effective way to prevent the common local problems we see and extend the life of your equipment.
