Durham Region Air Conditioning Repair, Service and Installation
Having a great air conditioning system can make the difference between a good summer and a great summer. We all need a break from the heat eventually, and coming inside to a nice cold environment is satisfying every time. That’s why it’s not cool (ha!) when your Carrier air conditioning system isn’t working the way you want, or it stops working altogether. But before you panic and call your HVAC company, put on your detective hat and run through some of the reasons why it might not be working.
Right off the bat, there are some very simple things to check. First, make sure your thermostat is set properly to “Cool”. If the thermostat is off, make sure your air conditioner is getting power by checking the switches on the unit and your circuit breaker. Next, make sure your filters aren’t clogged or dirty (these should be cleaned/changed regularly).
Next, here are some more significant things to check up on:
Broken Fan Blades
If you hear a weird noise coming from the outdoor unit, the culprit could be a bent or broken fan blade. Make sure the unit is off before inspecting the blades, and then using a flashlight, inspect the blades through the wire grille cover.
Busted Motor
Turn the unit back on and listen for any other strange noises. Make sure that the blades are spinning properly. They could be out of balance or the motor could be burnt out if they don’t spin at all.
Frozen Evaporator Coil
Lastly, go back inside and check the evaporator coil, located in the air handler unit. The coil can become frozen due to a busted fan motor, low refrigerant, or a clogged filter. Carefully feel around the handler unit to see if the casing is especially cold.
If you find that any of the above is a problem, now is the time to call your HVAC technician! It’s always best to have an experienced tech treat these problems fast and painlessly than attempting them yourself.

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done.

Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
