You shouldn’t have to worry about your family’s safety when temperatures drop below freezing. With over 50 inches of snowfall annually and January lows hitting the teens, Candlewood Isle residents know that a working furnace isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.
When your heating system runs properly, you sleep soundly knowing your pipes won’t freeze, your energy bills stay reasonable, and your home stays consistently comfortable. No more cold spots, no more wondering if your furnace will make it through another Connecticut winter.
That’s what reliable furnace repair gets you—the confidence that your heating system will work when you need it most, without breaking your budget or leaving you waiting for days.
We at Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration have been keeping Candlewood Isle families warm through Connecticut’s toughest winters. We understand what it means when your furnace fails during a January cold snap—it’s not just an inconvenience, it’s an emergency.
Our licensed technicians know the unique challenges that come with heating homes around Candlewood Lake. From the waterfront properties in Candlewood Shores to the established neighborhoods in New Fairfield Center, we’ve seen every type of heating system and every kind of problem.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in technicians who show up when they say they will, diagnose problems correctly the first time, and fix them right so you don’t deal with the same issue again next month.
When you call us, we’ll ask about your specific problem and schedule a time that works for you. Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck, ready to handle most repairs on the spot.
First, we perform a thorough diagnostic to identify exactly what’s wrong—not just the obvious symptom, but the root cause. We’ll explain what we found in plain English, show you the problem if possible, and give you clear options with upfront pricing.
Once you approve the work, we get started immediately. Most furnace repairs take between one to six hours, depending on the complexity. Before we leave, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly and clean up after ourselves. You’ll know exactly what we did and why, so you’re never left wondering.
Ready to get started?
Our furnace repair service covers everything from emergency breakdowns to routine maintenance that prevents problems before they start. We work on all major furnace brands and handle both gas and electric systems.
For Candlewood Isle residents, we understand the importance of timing. Your furnace needs to be ready before that first real cold snap hits, usually in late November or early December. We check and clean burners, test safety controls, inspect heat exchangers, and ensure your system is running at peak efficiency.
Living near Connecticut’s largest lake means dealing with humidity changes that can affect your heating system’s performance. We account for these local conditions in our maintenance approach, making sure your furnace operates reliably whether you’re dealing with lake-effect weather patterns or the region’s typical winter conditions.
Several signs indicate your furnace needs professional attention: blowing cold air, won’t turn on at all, strange noises like banging or grinding, uneven heating throughout your home, or burning smells. If your furnace is over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective.
However, many issues that seem serious are actually simple fixes. A clogged filter, tripped breaker, or malfunctioning thermostat can often be resolved quickly and inexpensively. That’s why we always start with a thorough diagnostic—to give you the real story about what’s wrong and what your options are.
Age alone doesn’t determine whether to repair or replace. We consider your furnace’s overall condition, repair history, energy efficiency, and your budget to help you make the right decision for your situation.
First, check your thermostat settings and make sure it’s set to heat mode at the desired temperature. Check your circuit breaker to see if it’s tripped, and look at your furnace filter—a severely clogged filter can cause the system to shut down as a safety measure.
If these basic checks don’t solve the problem, call for professional service immediately. Don’t attempt to fix heating system problems yourself, especially with gas furnaces, as this can be dangerous. Connecticut winters are unforgiving, and what starts as a minor inconvenience can quickly become a serious safety issue.
While waiting for service, close off unused rooms to conserve heat in your main living areas. If you have a fireplace, use it safely for supplemental heat, but never use outdoor heating equipment like grills or generators inside your home—this can be deadly.
Annual furnace maintenance is essential, ideally scheduled in early fall before you need to rely on your heating system. Connecticut’s harsh winters put significant stress on furnaces, and regular maintenance helps prevent mid-winter breakdowns when you can least afford them.
During maintenance, we inspect and clean all components, test safety controls, check gas connections (for gas furnaces), examine the heat exchanger for cracks, and ensure proper airflow. We also check your thermostat calibration and replace filters as needed.
Regular maintenance typically pays for itself through improved energy efficiency and fewer repair calls. A well-maintained furnace runs more efficiently, lasts longer, and is less likely to fail when you need it most. Many of our maintenance customers report lower energy bills and fewer unexpected repairs.
High winter energy bills usually indicate your furnace is working harder than it should. Common causes include dirty filters restricting airflow, leaky ductwork, poor insulation, or a furnace that’s not running efficiently due to lack of maintenance.
Sometimes the issue is behavioral—setting your thermostat too high or constantly adjusting it can cause your system to work overtime. A programmable thermostat can help by automatically adjusting temperatures when you’re away or sleeping.
We can perform an efficiency evaluation to identify what’s causing your high bills. This might reveal simple fixes like sealing ductwork or replacing filters, or it might show that your older furnace is simply using more energy than a modern, high-efficiency unit would. Either way, we’ll give you clear options to reduce your energy costs.
Yes, we provide emergency furnace repair services because we understand that heating system failures don’t wait for convenient times. When your furnace stops working during a Connecticut winter, especially with temperatures dropping into the teens or below, it’s a genuine emergency.
Our emergency service covers situations where you have no heat at all, gas leaks, or safety concerns with your heating system. We respond quickly because we know that every hour without heat in winter weather increases the risk of frozen pipes and other serious problems.
Emergency repairs do cost more than scheduled service calls, but we’re upfront about pricing before we start any work. We carry common parts on our service trucks, so we can often complete emergency repairs the same day rather than leaving you without heat while waiting for parts to arrive.
We service and repair all major furnace brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, Bryant, and many others. Our technicians are trained to work on both gas and electric furnaces, regardless of age or manufacturer.
Having experience with multiple brands is important because it means we understand the specific quirks and common issues associated with different manufacturers. We stock parts for the most popular brands and can usually get specialized parts quickly when needed.
Whether your furnace is a basic builder-grade unit or a high-end system with advanced features, we have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair it properly. We’ll also let you know if parts are becoming difficult to find for older units, so you can plan accordingly for the future.
