Your air conditioning quits on the hottest day of the year. Your furnace decides to take a vacation during a January cold snap. Sound familiar?
When your HVAC system works properly, you don’t think about it. You walk into a comfortable home after work, sleep well at night, and your energy bills stay predictable. That’s exactly what you get with properly maintained heating and cooling systems.
We handle the technical stuff so you can focus on everything else. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies. Professional repairs get done right the first time. And when you need a new system, we’ll help you choose equipment that fits your home and budget without the sales pressure.
We’ve been keeping Noroton Heights homes comfortable for years. We understand the unique challenges of Connecticut’s climate – from humid summers that strain air conditioning systems to harsh winters that test heating equipment.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained on the latest HVAC technology. But more importantly, we show up when we say we will and explain what’s wrong in plain English. No surprise charges, no high-pressure sales tactics.
Living in Noroton Heights means dealing with older homes that often have unique HVAC challenges. We’ve worked on everything from historic properties to modern builds, so we know how to adapt solutions to your specific situation.
When you call, we listen to what’s happening with your system and schedule a convenient time to come out. No phone tag, no waiting weeks for an appointment.
Our technician arrives with the tools and parts needed for most common repairs. We diagnose the problem, explain what we found, and give you a clear estimate before starting any work. You decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
After completing the repair or maintenance, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly. We’ll also point out any potential issues we noticed and give you honest recommendations about what needs attention now versus what can wait. You get a written summary of the work performed and any warranties that apply.

We handle all aspects of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration for Noroton Heights homes. Emergency repairs when your system fails unexpectedly. Routine maintenance to prevent those emergencies in the first place. New installations when it’s time to replace aging equipment.
Connecticut’s coastal climate puts extra stress on HVAC systems. Salt air can corrode components faster than inland areas. High humidity in summer makes air conditioning work harder. Winter temperature swings from mild to bitter cold test heating systems. We factor all of this into our service recommendations.
Whether you need a quick fix for a noisy furnace, annual maintenance to keep warranties valid, or guidance on upgrading to a more efficient system, we have the experience and equipment to handle it properly. Our service vehicles carry parts for most major brands, so we can often complete repairs in one visit.
Most HVAC systems in Connecticut need maintenance twice a year – once before heating season and once before cooling season. This timing makes sense because our climate puts different demands on your system throughout the year.
Spring maintenance focuses on your air conditioning system. We clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and make sure everything is ready for summer heat and humidity. Fall maintenance prepares your heating system for winter, including cleaning burners, checking gas connections, and testing safety controls.
If you have a heat pump that handles both heating and cooling, we still recommend twice-yearly service because these systems work year-round and need more frequent attention to maintain efficiency.
Strange noises are usually the first warning sign. Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds mean something is wrong mechanically. Don’t ignore these – small problems become expensive ones when parts fail completely.
Uneven temperatures throughout your home indicate airflow problems or system capacity issues. If some rooms are too hot or cold while others are comfortable, your system isn’t distributing air properly. Higher than normal energy bills without increased usage also signal efficiency problems.
Complete system failure is obvious, but partial failures can be trickier to spot. If your system runs constantly but doesn’t reach the set temperature, or if it cycles on and off frequently, call for service before it stops working entirely.
Age is the biggest factor. Systems over 15 years old with major component failures are usually better candidates for replacement than repair. The cost of new parts for older systems often approaches the price of newer, more efficient equipment.
Frequency of repairs matters too. If you’re calling for service multiple times per year, replacement makes financial sense. Newer systems are more reliable and come with warranties that cover both parts and labor for several years.
Energy efficiency is another consideration. Older systems use significantly more energy than current models. If your energy bills keep climbing despite normal usage, a new high-efficiency system might pay for itself through lower operating costs within a few years.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service for heating and cooling failures. Connecticut weather doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do HVAC emergencies. We understand that a broken furnace in January or failed air conditioning in July can’t wait until Monday morning.
Emergency service includes the same thorough diagnosis and repair process as regular appointments. We carry common parts and have relationships with suppliers for harder-to-find components. Most emergency calls can be resolved the same day.
We define emergencies as complete system failures, safety concerns like gas leaks or electrical issues, and situations where indoor temperatures become unsafe for health reasons. For non-emergency issues, we can usually schedule service within 24-48 hours during normal business times.
We service all major HVAC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, and many others. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new equipment and technology, so we stay current with manufacturer requirements and warranty procedures.
For installations, we work with several trusted manufacturers to offer options at different price points and efficiency levels. We’ll recommend equipment based on your home’s size, existing ductwork, and budget rather than pushing one particular brand.
Brand matters less than proper installation and regular maintenance. A mid-range system installed correctly and maintained properly will outperform a premium system that’s poorly installed or neglected. We focus on matching the right equipment to your specific needs and ensuring it’s installed to manufacturer specifications.
Service call fees typically range from $89-150 depending on the time and day. This covers the diagnostic time to identify what’s wrong with your system. If you approve repairs, the service call fee is usually applied toward the total cost.
Routine maintenance visits cost $150-250 per system and include comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and minor adjustments. This preventive service often catches small problems before they require expensive emergency repairs.
Repair costs vary widely based on what’s wrong and which parts need replacement. Simple fixes like replacing a thermostat or cleaning a clogged drain might cost $200-400. Major component replacements like motors, compressors, or heat exchangers can range from $800-2500. We always provide written estimates before starting any repair work so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
