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Many older homes rely on outdated systems, uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or limited space for ductwork.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Many older homes struggle with hot and cold spots due to aging insulation or outdated HVAC systems.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.

Received a new range and needed someone to disconnect the old range and connect the new gas range. They did a thorough job and were kind enough to remove the old range from the house. Thank you!

by AJM in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very satisfied with this company! Salesperson Dave was very good, very knowledgeable and gave me the impression that he wanted to sell me what I needed rather than what would put the most money in the company's pocket. He also called back after the installation to see if I was satisfied with the result. The installation crew of Greg, Grant and Peter did a great job. They arrived on time, completed the job quickly, answered all my questions and thoroughly cleaned up. They told me to call if I had any further questions. They left me with the impression that they really cared about their work and my satisfaction and that it wasn't " just a job". Prior to researching for a new furnace, I had never heard of this company but I'm glad that I did and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new furnace or air conditioning unit. They may be small but they do a great job!!

by David from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I first met Greg and Grant (The Twin Brothers from Twin Tech - yup -it's not just a cool company name) back in 2014 when our furnace broke down and they installed our Carrier Furnace and AC that we purchased through Sears. I liked them instantly when I met them due to their friendly and professional service, and the fact that they didn't mind taking a little extra time to explain things in terms I could understand. Since that time they have reached out to me at least once a year to ensure that everything was running smoothly with my system and to keep me appraised of their evolving services. Due to this high level of proactive customer service I didn't hesitate to call and obtain their help for a Gas Stove removal and installation. When I scheduled the call Greg and Grant let me know that they would arrive the morning of the appliance delivery to disconnect the old gas stove, and then return in the afternoon to connect the new stove. Sure enough, they did just that as promised. Where they exceeded my expectations is with the extra level of support helping to assemble the burners and grills on the stove and in the oven. This may seem like a small thing to some but to my wife who was at home during this entire process it meant a stress free transition to the meal prep for the day. When I called home to ask about the install she commented that, "they left the place cleaner than it was when they arrived and they setup all the grills on top of the stove and in the oven... they didn't have to do all that -Wow!". You know what they say, Happy Wife, Happy Life. So in summary, I am recommending Twintech Heating & Cooling for all of your Furnace, Air Conditioning, and Gas Line needs. I've even called on these guys to help swap out a leaky water valve. They are just so easy to reach and communicate with by phone, and they don't mind a text message to confirm the details. You can rest easy when you have the Twins on your side as an extension of your household maintenance plan.

by Jr in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

First thing, they actually showed up for a quote. Other big name companies in the area didn't even return my call , job was done as expected and new equipment is quiet and installed very clean and professional. Would highly recommend these guys.

by Melissa P. from Port Hope on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They removed our old furnace and replaced it with a new furnace and AC system.

by Nancy H. from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Work was performed in a clean and timely manner. The furnace and metal work was performed by the Twintech team (did not require separate contractor to do the metal work). Energy audit was arranged and promised rebates were received. The overall price was very competitive. We have recommended Twintech to several of our friends and family. Awesome job.

by Syd from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Grant and Greg installed a heating and AC system in our new Linwood post and beam home. Post and beam can be challenging structures for running ductwork and their high ceilings and open concept frequently frustrate efforts at balancing air flow and controlling temperatures. But these guys did it and did it right the first time. Even the building inspector was impressed with what he saw. More importantly, the boys brought a high degree of trust and integrity to the job. Something in short supply these days.

by jenner iksmom from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very polite and professional. They removed my o
ld furnace and A/C and installed my new ones. They were efficient and thoroughly cleaned up when they were done! I would highly recommend them!

by Rob from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Pro from start to finish. They were able to fix my gas fireplace at very little cost as well.

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!
