Your furnace quits at 10 PM on the coldest night of the year. That’s not bad luck—that’s Connecticut winter reality hitting a heating system that’s been struggling for months.
When your heating fails in Greenwich, you’re not just uncomfortable. You’re looking at potential frozen pipes in a $2+ million home, family safety concerns, and the stress of finding someone who actually knows furnace repair inside and out. With temperatures dropping well below freezing for weeks at a time, you can’t afford to gamble on fly-by-night contractors.
Here’s what changes when we fix your furnace properly: Your family stays warm through the harshest Connecticut weather. Your energy bills stop climbing because your system runs efficiently instead of working overtime. You sleep soundly knowing your heating won’t fail when you need it most.
Temp Assure isn’t another contractor hoping to cash in on Greenwich heating emergencies. We’re a family-owned HVAC company serving Fairfield County homeowners who expect more than basic service calls.
In a town where professional standards run high and time matters, we deliver what Greenwich families actually need: transparent communication about what’s wrong, honest pricing without surprises, and repairs that last through multiple heating seasons. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we show up Tuesday morning.
We also support Make-A-Wish America because we believe in giving back to the community that trusts us with their homes. That’s the kind of integrity that keeps Greenwich families calling us back year after year, even when they could afford to hire anyone.
First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong. Not what we think might be the problem, but what’s really causing your heating issues. We use proper diagnostic equipment and years of Connecticut HVAC experience to identify the root cause—whether it’s a $150 flame sensor or a more serious component failure.
Next, we explain your options without the sales pitch. If your 15-year-old furnace needs a $2,000 heat exchanger replacement, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. You get straight answers based on your specific circumstances, not what benefits us most.
Finally, we complete the repair with quality parts and proper installation. No shortcuts, no cheap components that’ll fail next season. The work gets done right the first time, with clear information about any manufacturer or labor warranties that apply to your repair.

Professional furnace repair in Greenwich means understanding how Connecticut’s brutal winters affect heating systems differently than milder climates. When temperatures stay below freezing for weeks—standard operating procedure here—your furnace works harder, components wear faster, and problems that might wait in warmer areas become urgent repairs.
Greenwich homeowners deal with unique challenges too. Many homes feature high-end heating systems with specific maintenance requirements. Others have older, well-built systems that just need knowledgeable care to keep running efficiently. Either way, you need HVAC contractors who understand both the local climate demands and the quality expectations that come with maintaining valuable properties.
You also get service that respects your schedule and your home. We provide realistic time windows and show up when promised. We protect your floors, clean up completely, and handle your property with the care it deserves. Because in Greenwich, professional service isn’t a luxury—it’s the minimum acceptable standard.
Furnace repair costs in Connecticut typically range from $99 for simple fixes to $2,500 for major component replacements. The actual price depends entirely on what’s wrong with your specific system.
Minor repairs like cleaning flame sensors or fixing thermostat issues usually run $150-$400. Moderate problems like blower motor repairs or gas valve replacements cost $400-$800. Major repairs involving heat exchangers or control board failures can reach $1,000-$2,500. Keep in mind that if your furnace is over 15 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective than continuing to fix an aging system that’ll likely need more repairs soon.
This depends on your furnace’s age, the repair cost, and your recent service history. If your system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, fixing it usually makes financial sense.
For furnaces over 15 years old, consider the total cost of ownership. A $2,000 repair on a 20-year-old system might not be wise when a new, efficient furnace provides years of reliable service while reducing your energy bills. Also factor in recent repair frequency—if you’ve called for service multiple times in the past two years, that often signals it’s time for replacement rather than continued repairs on a failing system.
Several symptoms indicate your furnace needs professional attention before it fails completely. Unusual noises like squealing, grinding, or banging sounds often mean mechanical components are wearing out or have already failed.
Uneven heating throughout your home, unexpectedly high energy bills, or a furnace that cycles on and off constantly all require professional diagnosis. Strange odors beyond the normal dusty smell when first starting for the season—especially burning plastic or fuel smells—need immediate attention. Any water leaks around your furnace also require prompt service to prevent expensive damage to your system and home.
Yes, we service gas, oil, and electric furnaces commonly installed in Greenwich homes. Each type has different components and service requirements, but our technicians have extensive experience with all major heating system types used throughout Fairfield County.
Gas furnaces require inspection of burners, gas lines, heat exchangers, and safety controls. Oil systems need attention to fuel pumps, filters, combustion chambers, and fuel delivery components. Electric furnaces involve different heating elements and electrical controls. Regardless of your system type, we stock common replacement parts and have the specialized tools needed for most repairs, which means faster service and less downtime when you need heat most.
Emergency heating repairs get priority scheduling because we understand furnace failures in Connecticut winters aren’t just inconvenient—they can be dangerous for your family and your property. We work to respond to true emergencies as quickly as possible, typically within hours.
Response time varies based on current weather conditions, service demand, and the severity of other emergency calls. During major storms or extreme cold when multiple systems fail simultaneously, response times may be longer. That’s exactly why we recommend scheduling annual maintenance before heating season begins—catching potential problems during planned service visits beats discovering them when your family desperately needs heat.
The most important task is changing your air filter regularly—every 1-3 months depending on filter type and your home’s conditions. A clogged filter restricts airflow, forces your system to work harder, and can cause overheating that damages expensive components like heat exchangers.
Keep the area around your furnace clear of storage items and debris. Ensure all vents throughout your home stay open and unblocked by furniture or curtains. Pay attention to how your system sounds and performs normally, so you’ll notice changes that signal developing problems. When you notice anything different—unusual noises, uneven heating, or higher energy bills—call for professional service before a small issue becomes an expensive emergency repair.
