Your home stays exactly the temperature you want it. Summer heat doesn’t turn your house into an oven. Winter cold doesn’t creep through every room while your heating system struggles to keep up.
You stop dreading those first really hot days or the first freeze because you know your system will handle it. Your energy bills become predictable instead of spiking every time your overworked equipment tries to compensate for problems that should have been fixed months ago.
Most importantly, you stop being that homeowner who’s constantly calling for repairs. Your system works reliably because it’s maintained properly and fixed correctly the first time.
Temp Assure Heating Air Conditioning & Refrigeration tackles the HVAC problems that make other companies uncomfortable. The systems that have been “repaired” multiple times but still don’t work right. The older equipment that everyone says needs to be replaced but actually just needs someone who understands it.
We’ve been serving Talmadge Hill long enough to know that Connecticut weather doesn’t give your HVAC system any breaks. Humid summers that push air conditioners beyond their design limits. Winters that test every component in your heating system. Power outages and ice storms that reveal which systems were properly maintained and which ones were just getting by.
Our approach is straightforward: diagnose the real problem, explain what it takes to fix it properly, and do the work right so you’re not calling us back in two months.
We start by showing up on time with the tools and parts needed to diagnose your problem correctly. Not just the obvious symptom that made you call us, but the underlying issue that’s causing it. Because fixing symptoms without addressing causes is how you end up with the same problem next month.
You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, what it takes to fix it, and exactly what it will cost. No vague estimates that double once we start working. No “we’ll need to see what we find” pricing games. You know the cost before we touch anything.
Once you approve the work, we fix it completely using quality parts and proper techniques. We test everything to make sure it actually works, clean up our mess, and explain what we did so you understand what you paid for. Your system works correctly, and you know it will keep working.

Our heating services cover everything from emergency furnace repairs to preventive maintenance that stops problems before they cost you money. We work on gas furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, and the ductwork that connects everything together. All major brands, plus the older systems that other companies won’t touch.
In Talmadge Hill, we understand that your heating maintenance needs to account for Connecticut’s harsh winters. Ice storms that knock out power for days. Temperature swings that stress equipment beyond normal limits. Heating systems that run constantly for months without a break. We check for the specific failure points that Connecticut weather creates.
Our cooling services prepare your air conditioning for summers that combine high temperatures with crushing humidity. We clean coils that get fouled by Connecticut’s dense air. We check refrigerant levels that drop when systems work overtime. We clear condensate drains that clog from moisture levels that would overwhelm systems in drier climates. Because when your AC fails during a heat wave, it’s not just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous.
Schedule heating maintenance every fall before the cold weather hits, and cooling maintenance every spring before summer arrives. Connecticut’s extreme seasons mean your equipment faces stress that systems in milder climates never see.
Fall heating maintenance catches problems before they become January emergencies. We check heat exchangers for cracks, test safety controls, clean burners, and verify that your system can handle months of continuous operation. Spring cooling maintenance prepares your AC for Connecticut’s humid summers by cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring condensate drains can handle high moisture loads.
Skipping seasonal maintenance in Connecticut is expensive. The majority of emergency calls we receive could have been prevented with proper seasonal service. And emergency repairs during extreme weather always cost more than scheduled maintenance.
Most HVAC problems in Talmadge Hill stem from Connecticut’s demanding climate and deferred maintenance. Summer failures usually involve refrigerant leaks, frozen coils from restricted airflow, and condensate drainage problems caused by high humidity. Winter problems typically center on heating systems that weren’t properly prepared for continuous operation.
Dirty filters cause more problems than any other single issue. Connecticut’s air carries more moisture and particulates than drier climates, which means filters clog faster and restrict airflow more severely. This forces your system to work harder, which accelerates wear on all components.
Ductwork problems are also common in older Talmadge Hill homes. Leaky ducts waste energy and create uneven temperatures. Poor insulation around ducts causes condensation problems in summer and heat loss in winter. These issues compound other problems and make your system work harder than necessary.
Replace your system if it’s over 15 years old and requiring frequent repairs, or if repair costs exceed half the price of replacement. But age alone doesn’t determine the best choice—we consider repair history, energy efficiency, and your specific situation.
A well-maintained 12-year-old system might have years of reliable service left, while a neglected 8-year-old system might be ready for replacement. We look at your actual repair costs over the past few years, current energy efficiency, and the likelihood of future problems.
We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair makes financial sense. Sometimes a $400 repair buys you several more years of reliable service. Other times, continuing to repair an aging system just delays the inevitable while wasting money on temporary fixes.
Yes, we provide emergency HVAC service in Talmadge Hill because heating and cooling failures don’t wait for business hours. Complete heating failure in January or AC breakdown during a heat wave creates safety concerns that need immediate attention.
We prioritize emergency calls based on weather conditions and safety factors. A heating system failure during a blizzard gets immediate response. AC failure during a heat wave with elderly residents or medical conditions also gets priority service.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled repairs because it requires immediate response and after-hours availability. But we’re upfront about emergency pricing before we start work. Most emergency situations can be temporarily resolved quickly, then properly repaired during normal hours if extensive work is needed.
We service all major HVAC brands found in Connecticut homes: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, York, and most specialty brands. We also repair older systems that other companies won’t touch because they lack experience with discontinued models.
Our service trucks carry parts for the most common brands and models, which means most repairs can be completed the same day. For less common equipment or older systems, we typically get parts within 24-48 hours through our supplier network.
Brand matters less than proper maintenance and installation. A basic system that’s well-maintained will outlast a premium system that’s been neglected. We focus on keeping your existing equipment running efficiently rather than pushing unnecessary replacements based on brand preferences.
HVAC service costs depend on the specific work needed, but we provide upfront pricing before starting any job. Basic maintenance visits typically cost $150-$250. Simple repairs like thermostat replacement or filter changes usually run under $300. Major component repairs range from $400 to $1,500 depending on the part and complexity.
Emergency service includes a higher call fee, but we apply that fee toward any repair work performed. New system installation varies based on equipment type, home size, and installation complexity, but we provide detailed written estimates for all installation work.
We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. You’ll know exactly what the work costs before we start, and that price won’t change unless you approve additional work. No hidden fees, no “we discovered another problem” after we’ve already begun.
