Claim This BusinessAir Murphy AC and Refrigeration has served Fort Lauderdale and the broader Broward and Dade County region since 1992, accumulating 47 verified reviews that average 4.5 stars. This established contractor handles both residential and commercial HVAC systems alongside specialized commercial refrigeration equipment. Their fully licensed, insured, and bonded status provides property owners with accountability on every job, whether a simple tune-up or a complete new installation.
What distinguishes Air Murphy from competitors is their documented approach to honest recommendations. Multiple reviewers note the team never oversells, even on substantial projects. They offer 24-hour emergency repairs with same-day response, a critical service during Fort Lauderdale heat waves when AC failures create unsafe indoor conditions. Their commercial refrigeration division serves restaurants and retail businesses requiring uninterrupted cold storage, a niche that demands specialized knowledge beyond standard HVAC work.
Customer stories underscore this reliability. Reviewer Austin Stoner described a replacement project where owner Tim Murphy clearly explained parts remained serviceable, then honored their decision to replace anyway at a fair price. Technician Tim completed the installation within three hours with punctual arrival. Diane Craig's review documented two service calls across three months, first a repair that extended her unit's life and then a replacement quote that proved more reasonable than competitors' offerings.
All 47 reviews award 4 or 5 stars, with 4.5 as the average rating. Five reviewers specifically name Tim or owner Murphy, with each praising honest assessments over replacement recommendations. Emergency same-day service appears in multiple five-star reviews during summer months when Fort Lauderdale heat intensifies AC failures.
