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.

Very pleased with the installation of our new furnace and A/C unit. From quotation stage to the completion of the job Twintech was very professional.
Thank you for a job well done.

My old water heater quit on me. I called TwinTech. In less than 4 days, I had my new water heater installed and the old one taken away. The whole process was quick, easy, pleasant, and well done. This is the third time I've dealt with TwinTech and I've been satisfied each time.

I had them replace my furnace last year. When it came time for the air conditioner this year, I did not hesitate to call Twintech again. I will also have them perform regular maintenance on them.

We required a new HVAC replacement after running the old
system for 18 years.
Dave understood our requirements and gave us a quote that
covered all the necessary items.
Installation was fast and very tidy. Everything works as
it should. Our thanks to Greg, Mitch and others for their
excellent work. Recommend this family owned business to
anyone else, considering HVAC or other work.

I needed a new furnace and A/C to replace my 21 yr. old units, and went to the internet to view potential companies in May, I received 3 quotes,
and chose Twintech based on their salesman Dave who was very detailed and covered off everything on what Twintech was all about,
an extremely dedicated company with so many years of experience, and after reading the on line reviews I was sold on Twintech, who did not disappoint as the installation team were top notch with Greg leading,
I would highly recommend this company without any doubts, in my books they are first class all the way. Our new Amana furnace and A/C are working perfectly !

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.

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

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!
