There are two kinds of calls we get from Westport. The first is the one where the system has stopped entirely: no heat on a cold night, no cooling in the middle of a heat wave, a furnace that will not ignite. The second is quieter and often goes longer before anyone picks up the phone: the system runs, but the house never quite reaches the setpoint, one room is always too warm, or the equipment cycles on and off more than it should. We take both. The fix for each starts in the same place, with a diagnosis of what is actually happening before any repair is recommended.
We handle residential and commercial heating and cooling across Westport, from older colonial homes on boiler heat to newer construction with multi-zone forced air to small commercial buildings with rooftop units.
Call (475) 239-2878 any day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM to get a quote or schedule a visit.
The price depends on what the job turns out to be, and that is not a way of avoiding the question. It is the accurate answer. A diagnostic visit has one rate. A repair that involves a single failed component has another. A full system replacement involves equipment selection, labor, and in some cases ductwork or electrical connections at the unit, and the total reflects all of that. None of those numbers are the same, and quoting a single figure before the system has been looked at would not be useful to anyone.
What moves a quote is the fault itself, what has to be accessed to reach it, and whether a repair is the better answer or whether the equipment has reached the point where replacement makes more practical sense. Older equipment is assessed on its own merits rather than defaulted to replacement. When the diagnosis is done, you get the price before any work is authorized. The scope and the rate are confirmed on the call so there are no open questions before the visit starts.

Westport has a significant share of older housing, and older homes bring a specific set of HVAC situations. Boiler systems that have been running for decades, oil-fired furnaces that predate current equipment standards, ductwork that was sized for a smaller footprint before an addition was put on, and thermostats that cannot communicate correctly with modern controls are all common in this part of Fairfield County. The work is different when the equipment has history.
Parts availability is one issue. A system that is old enough may have components that are no longer manufactured, which changes the repair conversation. The technician who comes out will tell you what is available, what it costs, and whether the repair is worth doing given the age and condition of the rest of the system.
Ductwork is another. In homes that were extended or reconfigured over the years, the original duct layout often was not updated to match. Rooms that were added later, finished basements, and converted attics frequently sit at the end of a duct run that was never sized to serve them. That shows up as rooms that are always too hot or too cold regardless of what the thermostat says. Rebalancing the system, sealing leaks in the duct run, or adding a ductless unit to the problem area are all options depending on what the inspection finds. The diagnosis explained before any repair is authorized applies here the same as everywhere else.
Property managers and landlords in Westport deal with a version of every HVAC problem that has an extra layer: someone else is living in the property, and the repair has to work around their schedule. We handle that. The call comes from the owner or manager, the visit is coordinated around the tenant, and the invoice goes to whoever is responsible for the building.
For multi-unit properties, the process is the same whether the call covers one unit or several. The scope is discussed on the phone, the rate is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and access is arranged before anyone comes out. A tenant who needs to be present for access is not an obstacle. It is just part of how the job gets scheduled.
The work itself does not change. Furnace repair, AC service, boiler maintenance, and system replacement in a rental property follow the same diagnostic process as any other job. What changes is the communication, and we handle that on the call.
The air handler is where the system moves air through the building, and the blower motor is what does the moving. A motor that is starting to fail will often show up first as reduced airflow at the registers, a system that takes longer than it should to bring the space to temperature, or an unusual sound during operation. Evaporator coil cleaning is part of the same visit: a coil that has accumulated dust and debris restricts heat transfer and makes the whole system work harder to do less.
In a home where some rooms are consistently too warm and others too cold, the problem is often in the distribution rather than the equipment itself. Dampers that have drifted, registers that were never adjusted for the current layout, or a duct run with a significant leak can all produce uneven temperatures across a property. Rebalancing involves measuring airflow at each register and adjusting the system to deliver the right amount to each zone. It is a straightforward fix when that is the actual cause, and the diagnostic confirms whether it is before any work starts.
The season a system struggles in says a lot about the fault, and a pre-season inspection is the practical way to find a developing problem before it becomes a mid-season failure. A furnace inspection in early fall covers the heat exchanger, ignition system, burner, and controls. An AC tune-up in spring covers the coil, refrigerant charge, capacitor, and airflow. Neither visit is long, and either one can surface a component that is about to fail while there is still time to address it without an emergency call.
Small commercial buildings in Westport often run packaged rooftop units that handle both heating and cooling in a single cabinet. These are serviced differently from split systems: the condenser, air handler, and controls are all in one place, and access requires working at height. Routine maintenance on a rooftop unit covers the same components as any other system, and the diagnostic process is the same. The difference is in the access and in understanding how the unit is integrated with the building's controls and zoning.
A system that runs all day without reaching the thermostat setpoint is either undersized for the load, losing conditioned air somewhere before it reaches the living space, or dealing with a component that is not performing at its rated capacity. Refrigerant charge, coil condition, ductwork integrity, and equipment sizing all factor in. The visit covers each of them in sequence rather than stopping at the first thing that looks wrong. Heat pumps, furnaces and mini-splits all within scope means the diagnostic applies regardless of what type of equipment is installed.
A refrigerant leak does not always announce itself clearly. Low refrigerant shows up as reduced cooling output, ice forming on the evaporator coil, or a system that runs but cannot bring the space down to temperature. Confirming a leak requires pressure testing and checking the coil and line set for the source. Once the leak is located, the repair involves sealing or replacing the affected section and recharging the system to the correct specification. Adding refrigerant without finding and fixing the leak is not a repair. It is a delay.
Calls are taken every day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM. The scope and the rate are confirmed on the phone before anything is booked, so the visit starts with both sides knowing what is covered. If the job turns out to involve more than what was described on the call, the additional scope is explained before any further work is authorized.
For commercial properties and managed buildings that need to stay open during the visit, the scheduling conversation covers how the work is sequenced around the building's operations. A retail space or an office that cannot be without cooling mid-afternoon gets a different scheduling approach than an unoccupied unit.
When a property has no heating or no cooling at all, the call is treated as urgent and the diagnostic starts on the phone. Describing the symptom, the equipment type, and when the problem started helps narrow the likely fault before the visit begins. Emergency calls are answered during our hours. We're ready to get your heating and cooling running again.
We take heating and cooling calls from across Westport and the nearby areas throughout Fairfield County, including Compo, Greens Farms, Saugatuck, Westport Village, and Staples.

Residential homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients in the area all reach the same number and go through the same process: scope the job on the call, confirm the price, schedule the visit. We work every day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM. If none of that quite fits, our HVAC services page covers the wider range.
Yes. If the property has a furnace or boiler for heat and a separate AC or heat pump for cooling, both can be assessed in the same visit. The diagnostic covers each system independently, and the price for the visit is confirmed on the call once the scope is clear. Scheduling a combined inspection before the season changes is a practical way to catch any developing issues on both sides before they become urgent.
A ductless mini-split is the most practical solution for a non-ducted property. An outdoor compressor connects to one or more indoor air-handling units mounted in the rooms being conditioned, with no ductwork required. Mini-splits handle both heating and cooling, which makes them a clean fit for older homes in the region that were built before central air was standard. The installation scope and the price are confirmed before any work begins.
Yes. Boiler and hydronic heating service is a significant part of the work in this part of Fairfield County, and older systems are assessed on their own merits rather than pushed toward replacement. The visit covers the heat exchanger, circulator pump, zone valves, expansion tank, and controls. If a component is no longer manufactured or the repair cost approaches what a replacement would run, that is explained before any commitment is made.
It depends on the part and whether it is compatible with the rest of the system. We assess what is already in place during the diagnostic and go through whether it can stay or needs to be replaced before any work is authorized.
A system that has been running without a tune-up is not a system that is fine. It is a system that has not failed yet. Scheduling a maintenance visit before the heating season or before the first stretch of real summer heat is the practical alternative to a no-heat or no-cool call at the worst possible time.
Call (475) 239-2878 to schedule planned maintenance, get a quote on a repair, or talk through a replacement.
We take calls every day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM. A conversation now costs nothing and a failure in February costs considerably more.
We serve these towns nearby as well: New Canaan, Darien, Ridgefield, Old Greenwich. See the whole of our coverage details.
Every heating and cooling call starts the same way: the scope discussed on the phone, the price confirmed before anything is scheduled. We handle the full range of residential and commercial HVAC work across Westport and Fairfield County, from a seasonal tune-up on a boiler to a full ductless mini-split installation in a home without existing ductwork. The table below lays out what each service covers, who it fits best, and what is worth knowing before you call.
| Service Type | What the Service Includes | Best For | Helpful Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor Air Quality & Air Filtration | Whole-home air purifiers and filtration, HVAC-integrated humidifiers and dehumidifiers, Allergen and dust control options, Multi-unit and commercial scope | Households with allergy or humidity concerns, and property managers maintaining air quality across multiple spaces | The right filtration or humidity solution depends on the system and the space. Options are covered on the call before anything is scheduled. |
| Full System Installation & ReplacementMost Popular | Load calculation and equipment sizing, Full system removal and installation, Residential and commercial scope, Price confirmed before work begins | Homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients replacing aging or failed equipment | Sizing the replacement to the actual load of the space matters as much as the equipment brand. An oversized system short-cycles and an undersized one runs constantly. |
| Emergency HVAC Service | No-heat and no-cool calls, Same diagnostic process as a standard visit, Scope and price confirmed on the phone, Calls taken every day 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM | Anyone dealing with a system that has stopped working during a cold stretch or a heat wave | The season and the symptom together narrow the diagnosis before the visit starts. A furnace that trips in January and an AC that stops cooling in August point to different faults. |
