When your AC quits during a Connecticut heatwave, every hour counts. You get back to comfortable living without the stress, sweat, or safety concerns that come with a broken cooling system.
Our emergency response means you’re not stuck waiting days for relief. We diagnose the real problem fast and fix it right the first time. No more tossing and turning in stuffy bedrooms or worrying about elderly family members overheating.
You’ll have reliable cooling that handles Connecticut’s humid summers without breaking your budget on energy bills. That’s what proper AC repair looks like.
Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration has been keeping Poplar Plains families comfortable through every Connecticut summer. We understand what humid 90-degree days do to your cooling system.
Connecticut’s climate is tough on HVAC equipment. The combination of high humidity and temperature swings puts extra strain on air conditioners. We’ve seen every type of breakdown that happens here, from compressor failures to drainage issues that only show up during the most humid weeks.
Our technicians live and work in this area. We know which problems hit hardest in July and August, and more importantly, how to prevent them before they leave you without cooling when you need it most.
First, we show up when we say we will with all the tools and parts needed for most common repairs. No multiple trips or waiting for parts orders while you sweat it out.
We diagnose the actual problem, not just the symptoms. A system that’s not cooling might have a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, blocked airflow, or electrical issues. We test everything to find the root cause.
Then we explain what’s wrong in plain terms and give you options. Sometimes it’s a simple fix. Sometimes replacement makes more sense than pouring money into repairs. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re facing and why.

Our AC repair covers everything from emergency breakdowns to routine maintenance that prevents them. We handle refrigerant leaks, compressor problems, electrical failures, and the drainage issues that Connecticut’s humidity creates.
Connecticut homes face unique challenges. High humidity makes your AC work harder to remove moisture from the air, not just cool it. Systems that aren’t properly maintained struggle with this extra load, leading to higher energy bills and more frequent breakdowns.
We service all major brands and handle both central air systems and ductless mini-splits. Our repair work includes testing airflow, checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, and ensuring your system can handle Connecticut’s demanding summer weather without overworking itself into an early breakdown.
Connecticut’s humid climate puts extra stress on air conditioning systems. High humidity forces your AC to work harder because it’s not just cooling air—it’s also removing moisture. This extra workload causes components like compressors and blower motors to wear out faster.
Most summer breakdowns happen because minor issues from spring weren’t addressed. A small refrigerant leak or dirty coils might not affect performance in May, but when July hits with high humidity and 90-degree temperatures, these problems cause complete system failure.
Regular maintenance before summer starts prevents most of these issues. We check refrigerant levels, clean coils, test electrical connections, and clear drainage lines that get clogged from Connecticut’s humid air.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually broken and how extensive the damage is. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils might run $150-300. More complex repairs involving refrigerant leaks or compressor issues can range from $500-1500.
The key is catching problems early. A small refrigerant leak costs much less to fix than waiting until your compressor burns out from running without adequate refrigerant. Emergency repairs during peak summer also cost more than scheduled maintenance visits.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting work. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs and why it’s necessary. No surprises on your bill, and no pressure to approve work you don’t understand.
If your AC is over 10 years old and needs expensive repairs like a new compressor, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Older systems are less efficient and struggle more with Connecticut’s humidity, leading to higher energy bills and more frequent breakdowns.
However, newer systems with minor problems are almost always worth repairing. A 5-year-old unit with a refrigerant leak or electrical issue can be fixed and run reliably for many more years.
We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes sense for your specific situation. Sometimes a $300 repair saves you from a $4000 replacement. Other times, continuing to fix an old system is throwing money away when a new, efficient unit would save you more in energy costs.
Schedule maintenance every spring before the heat hits. This catches small problems before they become expensive failures during peak summer demand. We check refrigerant levels, clean coils, test electrical connections, and clear drainage lines.
Change your air filter monthly during summer. Connecticut’s humidity creates more moisture in your system, and dirty filters restrict airflow, making your AC work harder. Keep the area around your outdoor unit clear of plants and debris so it can release heat properly.
Don’t ignore early warning signs like reduced cooling, strange noises, or higher energy bills. These usually indicate developing problems that are cheaper to fix now than later. Most emergency calls we get could have been prevented with earlier attention to these symptoms.
Your AC might be too large for your home, cooling the air quickly but not running long enough to remove humidity. Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently instead of running steadily to dehumidify the air properly.
Alternatively, your system might have drainage problems. Connecticut’s humid air creates a lot of condensation that needs to drain away. If drain lines are clogged or the condensate pump isn’t working, moisture stays in your system and gets blown back into your house.
Old or improperly maintained systems also struggle with humidity removal. Dirty coils can’t transfer heat effectively, and low refrigerant levels prevent proper dehumidification. A thorough system inspection can identify what’s causing your humidity problems and how to fix them.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair throughout Poplar Plains and surrounding areas. Connecticut summers can be dangerous when air conditioning fails, especially for elderly residents or anyone with health conditions.
We understand that AC breakdowns don’t wait for business hours. When your system fails during a heatwave, waiting until Monday isn’t an option. Our emergency service gets your cooling restored quickly and safely.
Emergency calls get priority response, and we stock common repair parts to handle most problems immediately. While emergency service costs more than scheduled repairs, we keep pricing fair and transparent. Your comfort and safety during extreme weather is our priority.
