That’s exactly what you get with our AC repair services in Darien. We understand how Connecticut’s humid summers and fluctuating climate push your system to its limits. Our experienced team diagnoses issues fast and fixes them properly, so you’re not dealing with the same problem next week.
You’ll have cool, comfortable air flowing through your home again—without the stress of wondering if the repair will hold up when you need it most.
Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration has been keeping Darien families comfortable through every season. We know this community—from the historic homes in Tokeneke to the elegant residences near Weed Beach Park.
Living along the Long Island Sound means your HVAC equipment faces unique challenges. Salt-laden air, high humidity, and Connecticut’s temperature swings all take their toll on cooling systems. We’ve seen it all and know exactly how to handle the specific issues that affect homes in our area.
When you call us, you’re getting technicians who understand Darien’s building styles, from classic colonials to luxury estates, and the HVAC solutions that work best for each.
Here’s how we handle your AC repair from start to finish. First, we schedule your service call at a time that works for you—including evenings and weekends when emergencies happen.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and diagnostic tools to identify the problem quickly. We’ll explain what’s wrong in plain language and give you upfront pricing before starting any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Once you approve the repair, we get to work. Most issues can be fixed the same day because we carry the parts and equipment needed for common AC problems. We test everything thoroughly before we leave, so you know your system is running properly and ready for whatever Connecticut weather throws at it.

Our AC repair and maintenance services cover everything your cooling system needs to handle Darien’s demanding climate. We inspect and clean evaporator coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and replace worn components before they fail.
For Darien homeowners, this attention to detail matters. Your system works harder here because of our coastal humidity and temperature extremes. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they turn into expensive emergency repairs during July and August heat waves.
We also specialize in the ductless mini-split systems and smart thermostats that work well in Darien’s mix of historic and modern homes. Whether you need a quick repair or comprehensive maintenance, we’ll make sure your AC is ready for Connecticut’s challenging summers.
We prioritize emergency AC repairs, especially during Connecticut’s peak summer months when system failures can be dangerous for families with elderly members, young children, or health conditions. Most emergency calls in Darien receive same-day service.
Our technicians carry fully stocked trucks with common AC parts and diagnostic equipment, which means we can often complete repairs on the first visit. During heat waves when AC breakdowns spike, we extend our hours and work evenings and weekends to get families back to comfort as quickly as possible.
If your AC fails on a sweltering day, don’t wait—call us immediately. The sooner we can diagnose and address the problem, the less disruption to your family’s comfort and daily routine.
Connecticut’s climate creates specific challenges for air conditioning systems. The most frequent issues we see in Darien include refrigerant leaks caused by our fluctuating temperatures, frozen evaporator coils during high-humidity periods, and compressor malfunctions from overwork during extended heat waves.
Coastal homes near the Sound also deal with salt-laden air that can corrode components faster than inland areas. We frequently service clogged drain lines, dirty air filters that restrict airflow, and electrical issues from power fluctuations during summer storms.
Many of Darien’s historic and luxury homes have older ductwork or unique layouts that require specialized solutions like ductless mini-splits or zoned systems. Our experience with these local conditions means we can diagnose problems quickly and recommend the most effective repairs for your specific situation.
The decision depends on your system’s age, repair history, and efficiency. If your AC is over 10-15 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to fix an aging system.
We look at factors like how often you’ve needed service calls, your energy bills, and whether your home stays consistently cool. If repair costs are approaching half the price of a new system, or if your unit uses outdated R-22 refrigerant that’s being phased out, replacement is usually the better investment.
For Darien homeowners, we also consider your home’s specific needs—whether a traditional central system works best or if a ductless mini-split would be more efficient for your layout. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on what makes the most sense for your situation and budget, not what generates the biggest sale for us.
Connecticut’s demanding climate means your AC needs attention at least twice a year—ideally in spring before the cooling season and again in fall. This schedule helps your system handle our humid summers and prepares it for the off-season.
Spring maintenance is especially critical because it catches problems before the first heat wave hits. Over 60% of AC repairs happen between June and August, often because minor issues that could have been addressed earlier turn into major breakdowns when systems are working hardest.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and replacing filters. For Darien’s coastal environment, we also inspect for salt corrosion and ensure drainage systems are clear. This preventive approach saves money on emergency repairs and keeps your energy bills lower during peak summer months.
Yes, we work on all major AC system types, from traditional central air to ductless mini-splits, heat pumps, and older window units. Our experience with Darien’s diverse housing stock—from historic colonials to modern luxury homes—means we’re familiar with virtually every cooling system configuration.
We’re particularly experienced with ductless mini-split systems, which work well in many of Darien’s older homes that weren’t built with modern ductwork. These systems offer efficient cooling and heating while preserving the character of historic properties.
Whether you have a high-efficiency system with smart controls or an older unit that needs specialized parts, our technicians have the training and equipment to diagnose and repair it properly. We also work with all major brands and can source parts quickly to minimize downtime during repairs.
First, check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker—sometimes the solution is simpler than expected. If those are fine, turn off your system to prevent further damage and call us immediately for emergency service.
Don’t attempt to diagnose refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, or internal mechanical problems yourself. These repairs require certified expertise and specialized tools. Trying DIY fixes often creates additional damage that makes the eventual repair more expensive.
While waiting for our technician, close blinds and curtains to reduce heat buildup, and avoid using heat-generating appliances. If you have elderly family members, young children, or anyone with health conditions, consider temporary cooling alternatives like fans or relocating to a cooler part of the house until we can restore your AC.
