Your heating system works when you flip the switch. Your air conditioning keeps you cool during those sticky Connecticut summers. Your energy bills stay reasonable instead of climbing every month because your system is fighting to keep up.
That’s what happens when your HVAC equipment gets proper care from technicians who actually know what they’re doing. No more lying awake wondering if your heat will work tomorrow morning. No more sweating through July because your AC gave up when you needed it most.
You get consistent comfort, predictable energy costs, and the confidence that comes from knowing your system won’t leave you hanging. Your family stays comfortable year-round, and you stay within budget.
Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration has been solving HVAC problems for South Norwalk homeowners who need systems that work reliably. We understand Connecticut’s demanding weather and the unique challenges of heating and cooling the older homes that define much of our community.
Our licensed technicians work in the same neighborhoods where they live. We’ve diagnosed problems in everything from converted mill buildings near the harbor to century-old Victorians on the hill. When your 1920s radiator system acts up or your newer heat pump needs attention, we know exactly what we’re looking at.
You’re getting local expertise backed by proper licensing, insurance, and ongoing training. We show up when we say we will, diagnose problems accurately, and fix them right the first time so you don’t have to call us back.
You call with a heating or cooling problem, and we schedule a time that works for your schedule. Our technician shows up with the diagnostic tools and replacement parts needed to solve most common HVAC issues on the spot.
We figure out what’s wrong and explain it in terms that make sense, not technical jargon designed to confuse you. You get an upfront price for the repair before we touch anything, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Once you approve the work, we complete the repair efficiently and test everything to confirm it’s working properly. We clean up our work area and show you what we did, plus any simple maintenance steps that can prevent the same problem from happening again. You get a system that works and the knowledge to keep it running smoothly.

We handle the full range of HVAC services that South Norwalk homes require. Emergency repairs when your system fails at the worst possible moment. Preventive maintenance that catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies. Complete system replacements when repair costs don’t make financial sense anymore.
South Norwalk’s mix of historic and modern homes means we work with every type of heating and cooling system you’ll find. Cast iron radiators in converted mill buildings. Modern heat pumps in recent construction. Central air systems that need seasonal attention to handle our humid summers.
Our services include indoor air quality improvements, which matter more in our coastal location where humidity and salt air can create unique challenges. We also provide energy efficiency upgrades that help offset Connecticut’s higher utility rates while maintaining the comfort levels your family expects throughout the year.
We typically arrive within 2-4 hours for emergency HVAC calls in South Norwalk, often faster for true emergencies like complete heating failure during freezing weather. Our technicians carry the most common replacement parts in their vehicles, which means many emergency repairs can be completed during the first visit.
During extreme weather events when everyone’s systems are stressed, we prioritize calls based on urgency and safety. Complete heating failure with elderly residents or young children gets immediate attention. We also prioritize calls where we detect potential safety hazards like gas leaks or carbon monoxide risks.
Our emergency service runs 24/7 because HVAC problems don’t follow business hours. Whether your system fails at 2 AM on a Sunday or during a holiday weekend, we have technicians available to restore your comfort and safety.
Our maintenance service includes a 20-point inspection designed specifically for Connecticut’s climate demands. We test all electrical connections, inspect heat exchangers for cracks or corrosion, and verify that safety controls are functioning properly. We also clean or replace air filters and check airflow throughout your system.
For heating systems, we inspect the ignition system, test gas pressure, and examine the venting system for proper operation. For air conditioning, we clean condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, and calibrate thermostats. We also inspect ductwork for leaks, which is especially important in older South Norwalk homes where settling can cause connections to separate.
You receive a detailed report showing what we found, what we corrected, and any recommendations for future attention. We also provide a maintenance schedule customized for your specific system and usage patterns, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns and extend your equipment’s lifespan.
The 50% rule is a good starting point: if a major repair costs more than half of what a replacement system would cost, replacement usually makes better financial sense. For most residential systems, this threshold falls around $2,500-$3,000 for repairs on systems over 12 years old.
Age plays a crucial role in this decision. Systems over 15 years old that need major component replacements like compressors or heat exchangers are often better candidates for full replacement. Newer high-efficiency systems will significantly reduce your monthly energy costs while providing better comfort and reliability.
We also consider your home’s specific needs. If you’re planning other improvements, dealing with uneven heating or cooling, or experiencing frequent breakdowns, a new system might solve multiple problems at once. We’ll provide honest guidance based on your situation, not just what generates the highest repair bill.
We offer several financing programs to make HVAC replacement affordable for South Norwalk homeowners, including 0% interest options for qualified buyers and extended payment plans with competitive rates. Many of our financing options feature no down payment requirements and terms from 12 months to 10 years.
The application process takes about 10 minutes and can often be approved the same day as your estimate. We work with established lenders who specialize in home improvement projects, so approval rates are typically higher than general credit applications.
We also help you understand available rebates and tax credits for high-efficiency equipment. Connecticut offers various incentive programs for energy-efficient HVAC installations, and we’ll help you navigate these programs to maximize your savings. Many customers find that monthly financing payments are offset by energy savings from their new efficient system.
Yes, we specialize in maintaining and repairing older heating systems that are common in South Norwalk’s historic homes. Our technicians have experience with steam radiator systems, older gas boilers, and vintage oil heating equipment that many newer companies won’t service.
We maintain relationships with specialty parts suppliers who can source components for discontinued systems. This often allows us to repair systems that other contractors would immediately recommend for replacement. We understand that not every homeowner is ready for a complete system replacement, especially when the existing system can be restored to reliable operation.
However, we’re also honest about when older systems have reached the end of their practical lifespan. If safety concerns exist or if repair costs will exceed the system’s remaining value, we’ll recommend replacement options. Our goal is to provide you with honest, practical advice based on your specific situation and budget.
Start with the basics: check that your thermostat is set to “heat” and set at least 5 degrees above the current room temperature. Verify that the system’s main power switch (usually located near the furnace) hasn’t been accidentally turned off. Check your electrical panel for tripped breakers related to your heating system.
If these steps don’t restore heat, call us immediately for emergency service. Don’t attempt to restart gas heating equipment yourself or bypass safety switches – this can create dangerous conditions. If you smell gas anywhere in your home, leave immediately and call your gas company’s emergency line before calling us.
While waiting for our technician, you can safely use space heaters in occupied rooms, but never leave them unattended or use extension cords. Close off unused rooms to concentrate heat where you need it most. If you have a fireplace, it can provide supplemental heat, but never use outdoor heating equipment like grills or camp stoves indoors due to carbon monoxide risks.
