You shouldn’t wonder if your heat will kick on during a February freeze or if your AC can handle Connecticut’s sticky summer days. When your HVAC system works properly, your home stays comfortable without the stress of unexpected breakdowns or sky-high energy bills.
Reliable heating and cooling means no more middle-of-the-night service calls, no more rooms that are too hot or too cold, and no more wondering if this month’s utility bill will break your budget. Your system runs efficiently, your indoor air stays clean, and you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your equipment actually works.
That’s what professional HVAC services deliver – systems that do their job so you can focus on everything else that matters in your life.
Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration has been solving HVAC problems for Candlewood Knolls homeowners who understand that Connecticut’s climate doesn’t mess around. We know how January cold snaps test heating systems and how July humidity pushes air conditioners past their limits.
Our technicians understand the local building codes, the common issues that plague homes in this area, and exactly what it takes to keep HVAC systems running efficiently through New England’s demanding seasons. We’ve diagnosed every type of breakdown, worked on every major equipment brand, and fixed problems that left other contractors scratching their heads.
When you call us, you’re working with people who live in this community and deal with the same weather challenges you do – not some national chain that treats Connecticut like it’s Florida.
When you contact us about your HVAC problem, we schedule a time that works for your schedule – not ours. Our technician shows up on time, quickly diagnoses what’s actually wrong with your system, and explains the problem in language that makes sense.
Before touching anything, you get a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees or surprise charges. We complete the repair using quality parts and proven methods, then test everything thoroughly to make sure it’s working correctly. No shortcuts, no Band-Aid fixes that fail next month.
You get a detailed explanation of what we found and fixed, practical tips to keep your system running well, and our warranty backing the work we performed. If questions come up later, we answer them – that’s how HVAC service should work.

Our HVAC services handle everything your heating and cooling system needs to work properly. We provide emergency repairs when your system quits, preventive maintenance to catch problems early, and complete installations when it’s time to replace worn-out equipment.
In Candlewood Knolls, we regularly address issues specific to Connecticut homes – heat pumps that freeze during winter temperature swings, condensate drainage problems from summer humidity, and ductwork issues in older homes that waste energy and reduce comfort. We know these local challenges because we’ve been solving them for years in homes just like yours.
Whether you need emergency heating repair, annual HVAC maintenance, or complete system replacement, we use manufacturer-approved parts, follow proper installation procedures, and make sure everything operates correctly before we consider the job finished.
Schedule HVAC maintenance twice yearly in Connecticut – spring maintenance before cooling season starts and fall maintenance before you need heating. Connecticut’s extreme seasonal temperature swings put extra stress on HVAC equipment compared to milder climates.
Spring maintenance includes cleaning condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing cooling components, and ensuring your AC can handle summer humidity. Fall maintenance focuses on heating system components – cleaning burners or heat exchangers, checking safety controls, testing ignition systems, and verifying proper airflow. This schedule catches developing problems before they cause breakdowns during extreme weather.
Regular maintenance keeps manufacturer warranties valid, improves energy efficiency by 10-15%, and extends equipment life significantly. Most importantly, it prevents emergency service calls during the worst possible times – like January cold spells or July heat waves.
Start with simple checks before calling for service. Verify your thermostat is set to “heat” mode with the temperature setting higher than current room temperature. Check your main electrical panel for tripped breakers, and examine your air filter – a completely clogged filter can shut down some heating systems.
If these basic steps don’t restore heat, stop there. Don’t attempt other repairs yourself because modern heating systems have multiple safety controls that shut down operation when problems occur. Bypassing these safety features can create dangerous situations including carbon monoxide risks or fire hazards.
Call for professional heating repair service immediately. We provide emergency heating service because Connecticut winters don’t wait for convenient business hours. A qualified technician can safely diagnose the actual problem and restore your heat quickly without compromising your family’s safety.
Age is the primary factor in repair versus replacement decisions. HVAC systems over 15 years old that need frequent repairs usually cost more to maintain than replace. Calculate your repair expenses over the past two years – if they exceed 50% of new equipment cost, replacement makes financial sense.
Other replacement indicators include inability to maintain comfortable temperatures, constantly running equipment that never satisfies the thermostat, dramatically increasing energy bills despite normal usage, and strange noises or odors that indicate internal component failure. If different system components fail repeatedly, the entire system is likely worn out.
We’ll honestly evaluate your system’s condition, explain your options clearly, and recommend the solution that makes sense for your situation and budget – not what generates the highest profit for us.
High winter heating costs usually indicate your system is working harder than necessary to maintain comfort. Common causes include dirty air filters that restrict airflow and force longer run times, leaky ductwork that wastes heated air before it reaches living spaces, and aging equipment that has lost efficiency over years of operation.
Poor home insulation and air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings allow heated air to escape, forcing your heating system to run constantly. Thermostat settings matter too – each degree you lower your winter thermostat can reduce heating costs by 6-8% while still maintaining reasonable comfort.
We can seal ductwork leaks, tune your heating system for peak efficiency, recommend insulation improvements, and suggest thermostat strategies that significantly reduce winter heating bills without sacrificing comfort.
Proper air conditioner sizing requires professional load calculations that consider your home’s square footage, ceiling heights, insulation quality, window sizes and orientations, and Connecticut’s specific climate conditions. Undersized units can’t cool effectively during hot, humid summers. Oversized units cycle on and off constantly, waste energy, and fail to remove humidity properly.
Professional sizing calculations account for your home’s unique characteristics including room layouts, ductwork design, insulation levels, and heat gain from windows and appliances. We measure spaces, assess insulation quality, evaluate ductwork condition, and calculate the exact cooling capacity needed for efficient operation in Connecticut’s climate.
Correctly sized air conditioning systems run efficiently, maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home, and remove humidity effectively. This results in lower energy bills, superior comfort, and longer equipment life compared to incorrectly sized systems that struggle to meet your home’s cooling demands.
Most residential HVAC installations require 1-3 days depending on system complexity and necessary modifications. Simple equipment replacements that connect to existing ductwork and electrical systems typically complete in one full day. Complete system installations requiring new ductwork, electrical upgrades, or structural modifications may need 2-3 days.
Connecticut building codes require permits and inspections for most HVAC installations, which adds time to the overall project timeline. We handle all permit applications, coordinate required inspections, and ensure all work meets local code requirements to avoid delays or complications.
Weather conditions can affect installation schedules during Connecticut winters, but we work year-round and take necessary precautions to protect your home during the installation process. We provide realistic timelines upfront, communicate any schedule changes immediately, and complete installations efficiently without compromising quality or safety.
