Your HVAC system should work so reliably you forget it exists. That means steady 72-degree comfort whether it’s 15 degrees outside or 95 with crushing humidity off Long Island Sound.
You get even temperatures in every room of your waterfront home. Your energy bills stay predictable instead of spiking during peak seasons. Most importantly, your system doesn’t leave you scrambling for emergency repairs when Connecticut weather turns brutal.
When your heating and cooling work right, you sleep well knowing your family stays comfortable no matter what Mother Nature throws at Shippan Point. That’s what professional HVAC maintenance and repair deliver.
We at Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration have spent years learning how Shippan Point’s coastal environment affects HVAC equipment. Salt air corrodes components faster. Humidity levels stress cooling systems. Winter storms test heating equipment beyond normal limits.
We’re not the company that shows up, immediately recommends a new system, and hands you a shocking estimate. We diagnose the actual problem, explain what’s wrong in terms you understand, and give you realistic options that fit your situation.
Your waterfront home faces unique challenges that inland HVAC companies often miss. We’ve serviced everything from historic Shippan properties to modern builds, so we understand how coastal conditions, home age, and architectural differences affect your heating and cooling needs.
When you call us, we schedule a convenient appointment and arrive on time with diagnostic tools and common repair parts. No waiting around all day for a vague time window.
Our technician thoroughly diagnoses your system and explains exactly what’s wrong. You’ll see the problem for yourself and understand why it needs fixing. We provide upfront pricing for all options before starting any work.
Most repairs happen the same day. We test everything thoroughly before leaving and explain what we did plus any maintenance steps to prevent future issues. You get a clear service record and know exactly what to expect going forward.

Our HVAC services include heating system repair, air conditioning maintenance, emergency service calls, system installations, and indoor air quality solutions. We handle everything from simple thermostat issues to complete system replacements.
Shippan Point’s coastal location creates specific challenges for HVAC equipment. Salt air accelerates corrosion on outdoor units. High humidity levels during summer require properly sized dehumidification. Winter storms can damage exposed components and stress heating systems beyond normal capacity.
Connecticut’s temperature extremes from winter lows in the teens to summer highs in the 90s demand reliable, properly maintained equipment. We service all major brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem, and can recommend the right system size and efficiency rating for your specific home and usage patterns.
Schedule HVAC maintenance twice yearly in Shippan Point – spring before cooling season starts and fall before heating season begins. Connecticut’s extreme seasonal temperature swings from winter lows around 20°F to summer highs near 95°F put tremendous stress on your equipment.
Coastal properties face additional challenges from salt air that corrodes electrical connections, outdoor coils, and metal components much faster than inland locations. Regular maintenance catches corrosion early and prevents expensive component failures during peak demand periods.
Professional maintenance typically includes cleaning coils, checking electrical connections, testing safety controls, inspecting ductwork, and calibrating thermostats. This investment of around $200 annually prevents most emergency repairs and can extend your system’s lifespan by 5-10 years while keeping energy bills lower.
The most frequent issues we see in Shippan Point are corroded outdoor unit components, clogged condensate drains from high humidity, and electrical connection failures caused by salt air exposure. Coastal environments accelerate normal wear patterns significantly.
Summer humidity control becomes critical when moisture from Long Island Sound combines with 90-degree temperatures. Many homes struggle with inadequate dehumidification, creating comfort problems and potential mold issues. Your cooling system needs proper sizing and configuration for these specific conditions.
Winter brings heating challenges when systems run continuously during cold snaps and nor’easters. We frequently service heat exchangers, blower motors, ignition systems, and ductwork that fail under heavy use. Preventive maintenance catches most issues before they cause complete system failures during extreme weather.
Consider replacement if your system is over 15 years old and requiring multiple repairs annually, or if repair costs exceed 50% of a new system’s value. Rising energy bills despite normal usage patterns also indicate declining efficiency that replacement can fix.
Watch for warning signs like uneven heating or cooling between rooms, strange noises during operation, frequent cycling on and off, musty odors, or visible rust on outdoor components. Multiple simultaneous problems usually indicate your entire system is reaching end-of-life.
Connecticut offers energy efficiency rebates and federal tax credits up to $2,000 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and systems. We’ll evaluate your current equipment’s condition, calculate potential energy savings, and explain all available incentives to help you make an informed decision about repair versus replacement.
Service calls typically range from $150-$300 depending on diagnostic complexity and time required. Common repairs like thermostat replacement, filter changes, or drain cleaning usually cost $200-$500, while major component replacements like compressors or heat exchangers range from $800-$2,500.
Annual maintenance agreements cost $200-$400 per year and include two seasonal tune-ups plus priority emergency service and repair discounts. This investment typically pays for itself by preventing one major repair while improving system efficiency and extending equipment life.
Complete system replacements in Shippan Point typically range from $8,000-$15,000 depending on home size, ductwork condition, and efficiency level selected. High-efficiency systems qualify for federal tax credits and utility rebates that can significantly reduce net costs while providing long-term energy savings.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency HVAC service throughout Shippan Point and greater Stamford area. We understand heating and cooling emergencies don’t follow business hours, especially during Connecticut’s extreme weather conditions that can make system failures dangerous.
We prioritize emergency calls for complete heating failure during winter storms, cooling system breakdowns during heat waves, gas leaks, carbon monoxide concerns, or any safety-related HVAC issues. Most emergency responses happen within 2-4 hours, even on weekends and holidays.
Emergency service includes diagnostic fees that apply toward same-day repair work. We stock common replacement parts on service trucks to complete most emergency repairs immediately, restoring your comfort and safety as quickly as possible when you need it most.
For Connecticut’s extreme temperature variations and coastal conditions, we recommend proven brands like Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem that engineer equipment specifically for northeastern climate challenges and salt air exposure.
Modern heat pumps have become excellent choices for Connecticut homes due to improved cold-weather performance and substantial federal tax incentives. Today’s heat pumps effectively heat homes even when temperatures drop into the teens while providing efficient cooling during humid summers.
The key is proper equipment sizing and installation for your specific home and location. Shippan Point properties need corrosion-resistant components rated for coastal environments, while older homes might benefit from ductless mini-split systems that don’t require extensive ductwork modifications. We assess your unique situation and recommend optimal solutions for your needs and budget.
