Why Amana Heat Pumps Are Right for Older Homes

Older homes across the Durham Region and Toronto have a charm and character you can’t easily find in newer builds.


But they also come with specific challenges when it comes to heating and cooling.


Many older homes rely on outdated systems, uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or limited space for ductwork.


That’s where Amana heat pumps shine.


Their latest models are designed not only for efficiency but also for flexibility — making them an excellent choice for older homes looking to upgrade comfort without major renovation.


Here’s why an Amana heat pump may be the perfect fit for your older home.


1.


Flexible Installation Options


One of the biggest advantages of modern heat pumps is how adaptable they are.


Amana offers both ducted and ductless mini-split systems, which means you can choose the setup that fits your home’s current structure.


For older homes that lack proper ductwork, this is a game changer.


Instead of tearing apart walls or ceilings, a ductless heat pump gives you efficient heating and cooling with minimal disruption.


2.


Improved Comfort in Drafty or Uneven Rooms


Many older homes struggle with hot and cold spots due to aging insulation or outdated HVAC systems.


Amana heat pumps deliver more consistent temperatures by circulating air evenly throughout the space.


Ductless units can also target specific rooms that need extra attention, such as:


Additions


Basements


Attics converted into living spaces


Front rooms exposed to wind


Second floors that tend to overheat or chill


It’s a simple, effective way to bring comfort to the trickier parts of your home.


3.


Energy Efficiency That Lowers Monthly Bills


Older homes often rely on systems that weren’t designed with modern efficiency standards in mind.


By switching to a high-efficiency Amana heat pump, homeowners can significantly reduce their energy use.


These systems transfer heat rather than generate it, which means they use far less energy than traditional furnaces, baseboard heaters, or window air conditioners.


Over time, this can mean noticeable savings — especially during Ontario’s long heating season.


4.


No Combustion = Safer, Cleaner Operation


Many older homes still use oil, propane, or aging gas furnaces.


Heat pumps avoid fuel combustion entirely, which means:


No exhaust fumes


No carbon monoxide risk


No need for fuel storage


Cleaner operation overall


This makes Amana heat pumps a cleaner, safer option for families upgrading older houses.


5.


Quiet Operation for Homes with Thin Walls


Older homes weren’t always built with sound insulation in mind.


Amana heat pumps are designed for whisper-quiet operation, both indoors and outdoors.


Their variable-speed technology keeps noise low, making them ideal for houses where sound travels more easily.


You get year-round comfort without the constant hum of older equipment.


6.


Retrofitting Is Easier Than You Think


Many homeowners worry that replacing an old heating system will mean tearing apart their home.


Amana systems are built with retrofits in mind.


Depending on your layout, your home may support:


A ducted heat pump using existing ductwork


A hybrid system using the old furnace only as backup


A ductless setup for targeted rooms


A fully ductless whole-home solution


Twintech Heating & Cooling can assess your home and suggest the best path with minimal disruption.


7.


Improved Indoor Air Quality for Older Spaces


Older homes often have more dust, drafts, and inconsistent airflow.


Amana heat pumps naturally improve air quality by circulating and filtering the air more effectively.


This helps reduce dust, allergens, and dryness — especially helpful during winter when homes are sealed tightly.


8.


Long-Lasting Reliability With Strong Warranties


Amana is known for offering some of the best warranties in the HVAC industry.


For older homes where homeowners want dependable, long-term performance, this added protection is a major benefit.


It means fewer surprise repair bills and confidence in your investment.


A Smart Upgrade for the Comfort and Efficiency of Older Homes


Upgrading an older home doesn’t have to be complicated — especially when you choose technology built for flexibility and efficiency.


Amana heat pumps offer dependable performance, quiet operation, and installation options that respect the structure of your existing home.


If you own an older home in the Durham Region or Toronto and want better comfort, lower energy bills, and a modern heating solution, Twintech Heating & Cooling can help you choose the perfect Amana system and install it with care.

by Aileen Johnson in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

All staff concerned were total professionals. Sales rep Dave was like having an old friend at your house. No up selling or pressure, just good honest facts and figures. The owners and assistant who installed our unit worked quietly, efficiently and left our home clean. We could not have been happier with the service and attention we were given. We are so happy a family member recommended Twintech. She said "don't call anyone else, just call them...they are amazing". And they were!!! Thank you guys for the great work!!! A. Johnson

by Lynsey from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are completing a large project adding an addition on to our house and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to trust Twintech with our hvac work. They removed and replaced the furnace, installed a new A/C unit, swapped our tank water heater for a tankless unit, and completed ducting and new A/C lines through the addition. Without hesitation we would recommend Twintech to anyone.

by Oldtown in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Price was very fair in my opinion .We have a family member with a medical condition and I think they made us a priority .Very happy with these guys . (Nice guys ) Stu Leffler Ajax.

by Mike B. Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff. Sales staff (David Gergley) excellent in knowledge and getting the job setup and installation was very prompt. Greg and Peter (technicians) knew their stuff and stuck around after completion to make sure it all worked properly and that I understood how it all was installed and how the unit worked. Would highly recommend them! Thanks for a great job-house is now cool and comfortable.

by Steve S in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had Twintech install a brand new air condition back in June of this year and I'm very happy with their service. I have a very busy schedule so I sent out an email to 7 or 8 HVAC companies just to get an idea of what it would cost. Dave at Twintech and only one other company were able to give me an approximate quote through email. Many of the companies I reached out to didn't even respond. I decided to meet with Dave and he was very friendly and professional. He gave me a good quote for a name brand/energy efficient AC with installation from their certified technicians. It was an easy decision to go with them.

Within a week I had the unit installed and working perfectly. Their technicians were very helpful and answered all of my questions. I'll definitely be calling them back for all of my HVAC needs in the future.

by Tina - Whitby in Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The people from Twintech were very friendly and personable...from the salesman to the installers. The installation was done as scheduled. I love my new air conditioner. My neighbour has a York and that thing is so noisy compared to my Goodman!! Thanks Twintech!!

by Cathy f. from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Thank you, Twintech. They installed an A/C in my home in the middle of a heat wave which we appreciated very much. I found the team good, not overly friendly, other than the brothers. Dave, the salesperson was awesome, and, it's because of him that I was sold on using Twintech. I had other questions about additional work I am curious about and would have liked them to follow up and provide a quote. Other than that, which ultimately is not related to the great work they did, I would definitely recommend them, although I don't believe they go outside of Durham (check with them).

by Linda from Durham Region on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We have used this company a few times so I can't remember exactly what we paid but I do know that their fees are always very reasonable.

The first time we called Greg was when our furnace conked out while we were away. He came right away, showed me the problem and fixed it immediately.

The second time was when we needed an air conditioner moved and lifted to a platform. Again, he showed up on time, completed the job quickly (including a new gas line) and the fee was very reasonable.

We have received a quote from Greg to replace the air conditioner and furnace and when we are ready to move ahead, we will be calling him.

I have no hesitation in recommending TwinTech!

by AS from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our rating for Twintech is 5/5 stars. They are very professional and efficient, and the transparency they maintain right from the preliminary assessment till the day of the work is a testament to their experience in the field. We had Twintech replace our air conditioning and furnace, and we appreciate the efforts taken by Greg.

by Raymond from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

After 18 years my Air conditioner died in the middle of a heat wave. I entered my information on Home Stars and within the hour Dave from Twin Tech responded and offered to meet me as soon as possible depending on my availability. Dave was very knowledgeable about the products Twin Tech offered and even though this was the first quote I received . I felt very comfortable in giving Twin Tech my business. maybe it was the professional approach. Needless to say that the crew with Greg and Grant arrived promptly at the time they committed to were very professional and within a few hours had the place cool. They cleaned up and one would never know that I had work done . I know that the System is new and I probably wont need to worry about it for some time. However with the professionalism displayed by the crew I feel assured that should I need to call for service Twin Tech will respond. I also know that should I need a new Heating system I will go with Twin Tech. Keep up the good work.

by Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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!

by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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!
