Why Amana Heat Pumps Are Right for Older Homes
Posted On: November 23, 2025
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Many older homes rely on outdated systems, uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or limited space for ductwork.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Many older homes struggle with hot and cold spots due to aging insulation or outdated HVAC systems.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.

I had a problem with the Furnace (Armstrong ultra V) and Greg diagnosed it on the phone. Even told me what the issue was and I was able to fix it. This level of service from a Business that is almost unknown today.
If you require service, reach out to Greg. I will definitely use them in the future!

We have been shopping for a heat pump for our home. We had 3 reps come in and make recommendations and provide a quote. Of the 3, Bob was so clearly so much more qualified, thorough and informed than the other two that the decision was a no brainer. As soon as we get our audit results Twintech will be installing our heat pump.

knowledgeable sales person, did not try to up-sell unneeded features,
and was easily contacted to ensure customer satisfaction.
Installation was expertly done by friendly guys, everything explained for use of the products. Old products were removed and returned to rental company as part of the service. Follow up call was received to check all was well. This is my second time using this company as I was fully satisfied with my previous air conditioning unit installation
Jan 4, 2023
Twintech recently installed a new furnace for me. Bob did a great job assessing what I had and needed. All details well explained including the importance of proper sizing of furnace and the value of multi stage heating and the variable speed blower. As a nurse, indoor air quality is a high priority so the variable speed motor running continuous is so good. 24/7 air cleaning. Greg did a great job on install, attention to detail so appreciated. Already notice such an improved comfort and heat. Thank you Twintech! You come as advertised. I will recommend to anyone in need of heating or cooling!
Jan 4, 2023
We received various quotes from 4 different companies and right away, the prompt and thorough communication from Bob from TwinTech stood out. He introduced himself, sent sample sites and information, and always confirmed any agreed to dates and times.
Bob was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the topic of HVAC and it was clear he was passionate about his profession. He approached the job as if he was installing in his own home.
Prior to the new furnace & A/C installation, our old units were loud and inefficient - having several rooms feeling too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. After installing the recommended units, all rooms stay at a consistent temperature- even the finished basement.
I highly recommend the TwinTech team - just an outstanding job at a reasonable price point.

The experience with Twintech was great from the start. Bob the sales manager was friendly and professional and did not use any pressure tactics. He was very knowledgeable.
The installation was completed by the twin owners in about 6-7 hours. Clean quiet easy going didn't mind when I poked my head in to see progress. Highly recommend

Just choose Twintech!
I do not usually write reviews and should have done this a few days sooner. But I was and still am enjoying the increased comfort in my home from the new furnace installed by Twintech.
From my initial call and conversation with Bob, I already had a good feeling that I would like this company.
I was provided information, pictures of great quality work previously completed.
When Bob came for the inspection of the furnace he was amazing. He gave so much great advice and told me all the areas that his team would resolve. I was very impressed as some of what he had suggested I had only seen in Youtube videos. The honesty and options for payment made this a no brainer. I decided I would like Twintech to replace my furnace.
The work was scheduled promptly week and took place within half a day. Gregg came to install the new furnace. Again amazing they carried out all the work promised. What was left was the best I have seen and speaks to how they take pride in the work they do and deliver. Gregg was really polite and professional and the furnace in my basement is a work of art.
Sep 7, 2022
They were friendly, fast, clean, & answered any questions I had. They are also offering an interest free 12 month payment plan - that really helped me out since this was an unexpected expense.
Sep 6, 2022
I had Twintech heating install a new furnace and ac unit. Bob, the sales rep, the installation team of Greg and Mitch were a 10 across the board. They were never pushy, gave me time to think about it. Once we decided , they were there in 24hrs. Great company to deal with. And they were nearly 5k less than a competitors quote for a top of the line furnace/ac unit verse mid level.
I highly recommend Twintech heating to anyone interested in anything HVAC.
