How Amana Heat Pumps Reduce Energy Costs

With energy prices continuing to rise across Ontario, more homeowners are looking for ways to cut their monthly heating and cooling bills without sacrificing comfort.


One of the most effective and efficient solutions available today is an Amana heat pump.


Known for their advanced technology and strong reliability, Amana heat pumps are designed to significantly reduce energy usage year-round.


Here’s how switching to an Amana heat pump can make a noticeable difference in your home’s energy costs.


1.


Heat Transfer Technology Uses Less Energy


Traditional heating systems generate heat by burning fuel or using high-power electric resistance.


Heat pumps work differently — they transfer heat rather than produce it.


This process requires far less energy, allowing the system to:


Heat your home efficiently in winter


Cool your home effectively in summer


Use a fraction of the energy older systems require


Amana’s high-efficiency models take this even further by maximizing the amount of heat extracted from the outdoor air, even in cold Canadian temperatures.


2.


Variable-Speed Compressors Avoid Energy Spikes


One of the biggest energy wasters in older HVAC systems is the constant start-and-stop operation.


Amana heat pumps solve this problem with variable-speed compressors that adjust smoothly to your home’s heating or cooling needs.


This means:


Fewer sudden energy surges


More consistent temperatures


Higher efficiency during mild weather


Less wear and tear on the system


By running gently at lower speeds for longer periods, Amana heat pumps keep your home comfortable while using much less electricity overall.


3.


Dual Heating and Cooling Replaces Two Systems


Amana heat pumps serve as both a heating system and an air conditioner, meaning homeowners can replace two energy-hungry systems with one efficient unit.


This reduces:


Maintenance costs


Energy waste from aging furnaces or AC units


Seasonal startup spikes


Electricity used by older cooling systems


For homeowners in the Durham Region and Toronto, where summers are warm and winters are long, the dual-purpose design offers significant year-round savings.


4.


Smart Defrost Cycles Keep Efficiency High


Cold climate performance matters here in Ontario.


Amana heat pumps include smart defrost technology that prevents frost buildup on outdoor units.


Instead of running defrost cycles on a timer — which wastes energy — Amana systems trigger defrost only when needed, helping maintain peak efficiency during cold spells.


5.


Improved Airflow Lowers Your Home’s Heating Load


Efficient airflow plays a major role in reducing energy use.


Amana heat pumps are built with advanced fan motors and aerodynamically designed coils to move air more effectively throughout your home.


This leads to:


Faster temperature balancing


Less energy used for heating and cooling


Reduced strain on the system during peak demand


Better airflow also means your home feels more comfortable at lower energy settings.


6.


High SEER2 and HSPF2 Ratings


Amana is known for designing systems with strong efficiency ratings, including high SEER2 (cooling efficiency) and HSPF2 (heating efficiency) values.


Higher ratings mean the system converts more of its energy use into heating or cooling performance.


A more efficient system = lower utility bills every month.


7.


Optional Hybrid System Setup for Even More Savings


If your home already has a gas furnace, Amana heat pumps can operate in a dual-fuel hybrid configuration.


This setup automatically switches between the heat pump and the furnace depending on which is more efficient at the moment.


The result?


Optimal energy use in every season


Reduced gas consumption


Minimal electricity waste during very cold weather


Hybrid systems offer some of the best long-term energy savings for Ontario homes.


8.


Long Lifespan = Long-Term Value


Energy savings add up over time.


With proper installation and maintenance, Amana heat pumps are built to last for many years — meaning homeowners enjoy reduced utility bills for the long run.


And with Amana’s strong warranty coverage, repair costs remain low, further increasing the overall value of the system.


Reduce Your Home’s Energy Costs with an Amana Heat Pump


If you’re looking to lower your monthly energy bills, reduce your environmental impact, and improve overall comfort, an Amana heat pump is a smart, modern solution.


With high-efficiency technology, reliable cold-weather performance, and advanced features designed specifically to reduce energy waste, Amana systems deliver real savings for homeowners across the Durham Region and Toronto.

by Bill, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are very happy with our new furnace. The service was excellent the guys worked 6 hours straight through and there was no mess at all they took the old furnace box’s etc with them they then explained everything to us they were very helpful and pleasant , when we need a new air conditioner we know who to call!

by Ken, Bomanville on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The crew from sales to installation was very professional and had great attention to detail

by Tracy, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We couldn’t have been more impressed with Twintech - from our first service call with Mitch who took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue with our furnace, to Dave who proposed a well thought out solution to meet our needs and finally Greg and team who acted quickly to install given we had no heat.


We did our due diligence by soliciting quotes from alternate providers and were shocked and disappointed by the aggressive and manipulative tactics used.


Twintech was honest in their approach, detailed in their product knowledge, reasonably priced, diligent in their follow-up and valued our business.


Well done Twintech! You made this a positive experience for us and our new furnace works beautifully!

by Skapoor, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We recently purchased an Amana high efficiency furnace and humdifier through Twintech. The work was completed very professionally and the quality of the workmanship was high. There was some additional sheet metal work required to complete the installation, which they were able to complete themselves. Overall I am very pleased with the work and would highly recommend Twintech for a furnace replacement.

by Steve, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were very pleased with every aspect of the work that was done. They were very professional and polite. They arrived when they said they would and job was completed on estimated time


We would highly recommend them to whoever needed a recommendation


We have a very large dog and they were very understanding and respectful of him being around

by Patrick, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The blower on our furnace stopped working leaving us with a cold house. Dave from TwinTech responded immediately to our HomeStars service request. From beginning to end Dave was nothing but helpful, friendly and professional, he did a great job of walking us through the quote and scope of work.


The replacement of the furnace went smoothly. The Guys did a great job, everyone was very friendly and polite. There were no hiccups, or unexpected costs. The only surprise was they left the work area cleaner than it was before they started.


Was a great experience with the whole TwinTech team. Its been a couple of months since the new furnace has been installed and its working great!

by Ed, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I heard about TwinTech when researching new furnaces at furnaceprices.ca. After contacting them about my broken down furnace, Dave came to my house the next day to assess my situation and requirements for a new furnace. He recommended one that had stainless steel heat exchangers which sold me since my previous furnace had issues with a rusted secondary heat exchanger that had to be replaced. Dave also set me up with an appointment with an energy audit company so that I could take advantage of a rebate to help improve the energy efficiency of my home and get some money back. A few days later, Greg, Grant, and Mitch came to install the new furnace and remove the old one. When delivering and removing the furnaces, they were very careful not to damage my floors and walls, and even laid out red carpeting to protect the floors. They were very friendly and professional. The installation was completed in the time they said it would take and they cleaned up their work areas. Within a week, Dave called to follow-up to see how everything was going. I have already recommended them to several friends and family members who may need new furnaces soon.

by Fred, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Twintech did a great job, from Dave the Sales Rep to the Office staff and The Professional Technicians who did the installation. They were professional, courteous, knowledgable and informative. From beginning to follow up we were completely satisfied with everything. Thanks Again. Sincerely The Laytons

by Elle, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great product, great service, great follow-up. The Twintech Heating and Cooling arranged removal of my existing oil tank and they installed the new gas furnace Amana (made in USA). I am very happy with the final result and support I received throughout the process. My thanks go to the entire Twintech team for their professionalism, great communication and follow-up.

by John & Linda, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We've had Twintech provide us with work in the past, for an inground pool heater and required rough-in for a new gas stove. More recently they provided the same friendly, professional, timely and clean installation of our new furnace.

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!
