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.

Our hot water tank died and with an after hours phone called Bob the sales guy jumped into action. Friendly, courteous and genuinely wanted to do whats best for our house hold we were given options and he awaited an answer with no pressure.
We decided on what we wanted and it was installed asap and Greg and team worked and cleaned up so well, you would never know there was a hot water tank there before!
We love our hot water tank and being able to have back to back to back showers without having to wait for the hot water tank to heat the water!
I had heard of Twin Tech from a good friend of mine.
I needed to get a new Air Conditioner. It was not working properly and was 19 years old. I decided to get a new furnace at the same time.
I gave them a call on Saturday June 28.
I spoke to Bob Graham. I made arrangements for him to attend my house the following day.
I saw him on Sunday June 29 at 1100 AM.
He was on time and looked professional.
He spent 2 hours with me going over what I needed. He also suggested that I purchase a Humidifier. He gave me a quote of just under $11,000.00 for the purchase and installation of a Air Conditioner, Furnace and Humidifier. He was not pushy and gave me time to speak to my wife.
I called Bob on Monday June 30 and made arrangements to have it installed by the end of the week.
On Friday June 3 they arrived at 830 AM.
Again, right on time.
Greg and Mitch worked all day and finished the installation by 430 PM.
They made sure that everything was working properly and the basement was just as clean as it was before they came.
I will now be using Twin Tech to perform any maintenance needed on this equipment.
I was completely satisfied from start to finish with the service provided.
Thank You,

We contacted TwinTech after having another ductless air-conditioning company come in to quote on a solution for our townhouse. We had a unique problem where my office was a hot spot - it's at the front of the unit and gets a lot of sun. If it's 20C outside, It's 29C in my office. The other company could not build a solution that would get a ductless unit to that room because of the location - the AC unit would have to be at the rear, and ductless systems would have to be on that side of the interior. TwinTech suggested a hybrid solution to fit our unique problem, where the ductless unit would move cold air to an air exchanger installed in our bedroom closet, and then they built a ducted vent system between all the upper rooms. This was less intrusive than building a central air system, and less expensive. Each room has a vent that I can close off, so I can push more cold air to my office when needed. We really didn't want ductless units sitting on the walls, and this looks and works better. I really appreciate the extra thought and care that went into the design of a solution, and the attention to detail in the installation. They answered all of our questions, and were able to do a bit extra by installing the ducts around the vents and painting them for us. It cost more than we originally planned for, due to our unique needs, but the fact that they offered financing helped us budget for more.
The job was done fast (I think we got lucky with timing where it wasn't the AC install busy season yet), and the team was very friendly and professional. They arrived and finished each day when they said they would. My office is now running at a comfortable temperature! I'm extremely happy with the experience and would whole heartedly recommend them.
How lucky are we to have this team come save us from our broken down, under sold, poorly installed previous unit (mind you there is a reason SEARS went bankrupt). Bob arrived on time to give us a detailed review of our unit and furnace; very knowledgeable. Greg arrived as planned with the new unit and reiterated what Bob explained how our furnace is equipped to handle the new unit and we didnt need to spend more money on a variable speed air conditioner. Cant say enough on how professional, efficient and personable this team is. Thank you so much guys!
We used Twintech for our replacement AC. Bob did a great job assessing what we needed and organized the install and showed up on install date. Greg and Mitch were on time and were very neat. They covered the traffic areas with a drop cloth and did an excellent install. Great clean up after install complete. Would recommend Twintech for heating and cooling.
They were fantastic, clean, freindly, great service. Would definitely recommend. Answered ally questions and more.
We woke up at about 7 a.m. the Sunday morning before Valentine's Day to a house that was barely 15 degrees Celsius on a really cold day. We tried to call some other suppliers but no answer or call back. We did a quick google search and Twintech came up. Had never dealt with them before. They had a chat line and lo & behold, someone answered; Greg. Helped us diagnose that our 40 year old furnace pilot light was out and walked us through how to relight it. All worked well; he even called me during this process. No charge I was told when asked.
15 minutes later, the pilot went out. It would not stay lit. Greg had Bob call us and we set up a meeting for about 11 a.m. that same Sunday.
Bob walked us through the options and even brought 3 electric space heaters for us to use. By Tuesday afternoon, we had a new Furnace and central air installed.
The team was helpful, responsive and respectful. Very glad we found them by accident and looking forward to a nice cool summer after a warm winter.
Thanks guys!
Dealing with Bob and the installation crew was a pleasure. They took the time to explain everything. What would benefit us the most and the price difference. They were in and out in a reasonable time frame and fit us in within a couple days of original meeting. Quality of work is excellent as well.
A pleasure dealing with Bob ,Spencer and Mitch . They are professional and they also observe the covid 19 precautions . Bob explained the whole process and got the new furnace up the next day . Highly recommend
Would like to thank TwinTech for their quick response to our furnace repair. We used TwinTech to install a new furnace and AC a few years
back. Our furnace started to have problems early in the evening of extremely cold night. Contacted TwinTech and they were able make a service call later that evening. They got the furnace going and came the next day to replace a part. The part was under warranty and there was
no charge for either service call!
We are extremely happy with their customer service and would highly recommend them.

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!
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.
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!
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!
