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.

by Jennifer in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had cold and hot spots all over my 70 yr old home. My furnace is quite new and Greg optimized the fan and furnace. The original installer just took it out of the box with factory settings and installed it- basically running at 50% of capacity. Greg also routed heat into my laundry room, yeah - so now I can renovate laundry room - thanks Greg. He is honest, professional and knowledgeable. I will be calling him back in the spring to optimize my AC as well.

by Happy Homeowner in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Wonderful from beginning to end. I tend to fret and worry about home improvements but the excellent team at TwinTech put my mind as ease. They listen, they are patient and best of all ... the work they did is amazing! I chose the Goodman 80K BTU 2 stage furnace and the matching Goodman air conditioner. Greg, Grant and Poitr "Peter" arrived on time, took great care, explained everything to me and they answered all of my questions. They carefully adjusted the factory settings to optimize the furnace for my house and they also checked the duct work in the basement. Dave, the Sales Manager, came by to say "hello" and to see if I was happy. YES, I am happy with the work! The furnace is very quiet. I have it running on low just to circulate the air in the house and it's so much quieter than my old furnace. When I need new duct work for an upcoming basement renovation TwinTech will be my first choice. I highly recommend TwinTech. PS. They were even nice to my dogs.

Greg was prompt on the scheduled day of installation and the work was done well within the time estimated beforehand. Installation was neat and the equipment and scope of work was as specified in the quote. One item I must point out is that we were faced with a "No Heat" situation the day before the scheduled installation and Greg came out to address it free of charge. Not only that, but he also corrected an installation fault with our smart thermostat that was not part of the original job, again free of charge.

by one19 in North york on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Greg came by to do a routine furnace checkup. He was very knowledgeable and professional, letting me know what's being checked/adjusted and giving me tips to ensure everything runs smooth. Very honest and upfront about what's working fine vs. what may need to be fixed/replaced. He didn't attempt to up sell anything that wasn't necessary. I'm glad to have finally found someone I can trust and rely on for all my HVAC needs - furnace, A/C, and hot water tank.

by Paul M. from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I'm very happy with the work that was done. Everyone from salesperson to the installers were friendly and professional. They were on time and cleaned up the job site after it was installed. They also answered all my follow up questions promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them or recommend them again.

by Kathy D.in Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Thanks to the team at Twin Tech for a great job installing my new heat pump/ac unit. The guys were very polite and professional. When they left you would never have known they had been there except for the new Mitsubishi unit on the wall!! would highly recommend the Twin Tech team.

by varga p. in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installed professionally, no delays, no rework needed. Very reliable contractor and sales person. Also installed BBQ gas line and some duct work.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

by peter in Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very impressed with this company. They show up on time , kept my place clean and after they left it looks like they were never there. Very professional team. Those people know what they doing . Their installation was on the highest standard. They are very knowledgeable especially they're worker Peter. I strongly recommend this company to everybody. After the installation I receive the call making sure I'm satisfied with their products and their job. Bravo!!!

by James in Bowmanville on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Greg and his brother were referred to us by a friend. They arrived when they said they would, did an exceptional job and left the place as tidy or tidier then they found it. Their professionalism is only surpassed by their kind and friendly demeanor. Even after several calls to help me with my high tech thermostat I feel that I could always call with any concern (No one responds to my texts as quickly as Greg) and have a friendly helpful response. I found out their grandfather started the company and now as a 3rd generation company, they are doing their grandfather proud. I would highly recommend Twintech over any other hvac company out there.

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 definitely recommend TwinTech!
