When your HVAC system works right, you don’t think about it. You walk into a cool house after a sweltering July day. Your furnace kicks on seamlessly when Connecticut’s winter temperatures drop to the teens. Your energy bills stay predictable instead of spiking every month.
That’s what proper HVAC service delivers. Not just equipment that runs, but systems that work efficiently, quietly, and reliably through Germantown’s hot summers and cold winters. You get consistent temperatures in every room, cleaner indoor air, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your system won’t fail when you need it most.
Professional installation and maintenance mean fewer emergency calls, lower utility costs, and equipment that lasts years longer than systems that are neglected or improperly serviced.
We at Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration understand what Connecticut weather demands from your HVAC system. We’ve been serving Germantown homeowners and businesses, handling everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs when systems fail during peak seasons.
Our team knows the local building codes, permit requirements, and the specific challenges that come with heating and cooling homes in this area. We work with quality equipment designed to handle Connecticut’s climate extremes, and we stand behind our installations and repairs.
When you call us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in your community—people who understand that a broken furnace in January or a failed air conditioner in July isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s an emergency.
We start with an honest assessment of what you need. Whether it’s a repair, maintenance, or new installation, we’ll examine your current system, explain what we find, and give you clear options with upfront pricing.
For installations, we handle the permits and ensure everything meets local codes. We protect your home during the work, install equipment properly, and test everything thoroughly before we consider the job complete. For repairs, we diagnose the actual problem—not just the symptoms—and fix it right the first time.
After the work is done, we’ll walk you through your system, answer your questions, and make sure you know how to get the most efficiency and longevity from your equipment. We also provide maintenance recommendations to help you avoid future problems and keep your warranty valid.

Our services cover everything your HVAC system needs: installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency service for heating and cooling equipment. We work on furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioning, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and indoor air quality systems.
In Germantown’s climate, your HVAC system works hard year-round. Summers regularly hit the 80s and 90s with high humidity, while winters can drop well below freezing with significant snowfall. Your equipment needs to handle these extremes reliably, which means proper installation, quality components, and regular maintenance.
We also address indoor air quality concerns that are common in Connecticut homes—humidity control, air filtration, and ventilation improvements that help you breathe cleaner air while your system operates more efficiently. Many of our customers see noticeable improvements in both comfort and energy costs after upgrading their systems or improving their maintenance routines.
You should schedule professional HVAC maintenance twice a year—once before the heating season and once before cooling season. Connecticut’s climate puts significant demands on your system, with hot, humid summers and cold winters requiring your equipment to work at peak capacity for extended periods.
Spring maintenance prepares your air conditioning for summer’s heat and humidity, while fall maintenance ensures your heating system is ready for winter’s cold snaps. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs, improves energy efficiency, and extends your equipment’s lifespan. Most manufacturers require annual maintenance to keep warranties valid, and many homeowners see 10-15% reductions in energy costs with properly maintained systems.
The right system size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window types, ceiling height, and local climate factors. Oversized systems cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity properly. Undersized systems run constantly, driving up energy bills and wearing out faster.
We perform detailed load calculations that account for Connecticut’s climate conditions, your home’s specific characteristics, and your family’s comfort preferences. This includes measuring your home, evaluating insulation and air sealing, and considering factors like sun exposure and local weather patterns. Proper sizing typically results in better comfort, lower energy costs, and longer equipment life compared to systems that are simply guessed at based on square footage alone.
If your system is over 10-12 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense. Older systems are less efficient, use outdated refrigerants, and become increasingly expensive to maintain as parts become scarce. Modern systems can be 20-30% more efficient than equipment from the early 2000s.
Consider replacement if repair costs exceed 50% of a new system’s cost, if your energy bills have been climbing steadily, or if your system can’t maintain comfortable temperatures during Connecticut’s temperature extremes. New systems also offer better humidity control, quieter operation, and smart thermostat compatibility. We’ll provide honest recommendations based on your system’s condition, your home’s needs, and your budget—not just what generates the highest sale for us.
High summer energy bills usually result from systems working harder than necessary due to poor maintenance, inadequate insulation, air leaks, or undersized/oversized equipment. Connecticut’s hot, humid summers force air conditioners to run frequently, and any inefficiency gets multiplied across months of heavy use.
Common culprits include dirty air filters restricting airflow, refrigerant leaks reducing cooling capacity, ductwork leaks wasting conditioned air, and thermostats in poor locations giving false readings. Poor insulation and air sealing force your system to work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. We can perform an energy assessment to identify specific issues and recommend solutions that typically pay for themselves through reduced energy costs within a few years.
First, check your thermostat settings and replace the air filter if it’s dirty. Verify that your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and that your outdoor unit has power. For heating systems, ensure your pilot light is lit (if applicable) and that fuel supplies are adequate.
If these basic checks don’t resolve the problem, call for professional service rather than attempting repairs yourself. HVAC systems involve electrical components, refrigerants, and combustible fuels that require proper training to handle safely. During Connecticut’s extreme weather, system failures can create emergency situations, so we prioritize urgent calls during heat waves and cold snaps. Regular maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures, but when problems do occur, professional diagnosis and repair ensure your system is restored safely and reliably.
Yes, most HVAC installations and major repairs require permits in Connecticut to ensure work meets safety codes and efficiency standards. This includes new system installations, equipment replacements, ductwork modifications, and electrical connections. Permits protect you by ensuring work is inspected and meets current building codes.
Licensed contractors typically handle the permit process as part of their service, including submitting applications, scheduling inspections, and ensuring compliance with local requirements. Unpermitted work can create problems when selling your home, may void equipment warranties, and could result in safety hazards if not done properly. We handle all necessary permits for our installations and major repairs, so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself or worry about compliance issues down the road.
