Durham Region Homeowner FAQ - Amana Heat Pumps
Posted On: December 12, 2025
If you’re a homeowner in the Durham Region—from Whitby and Oshawa to Ajax, Pickering, and Clarington—you’ve likely heard a lot about the benefits of Amana heat pumps.
With rising energy costs and a growing focus on efficient home heating, many local homeowners are considering upgrading to a heat pump system.
To help you make an informed decision, Twintech Heating & Cooling has put together this FAQ-style guide to answer the most common questions about Amana heat pumps.
Frequently Asked Questions 1.
What makes Amana heat pumps a good choice for Durham Region homeowners?
Amana heat pumps are known for their high efficiency, reliable heating in cold climates, and impressive warranty coverage.
Whether you’re upgrading your older furnace/AC system or building new, Amana offers long-term comfort with strong performance even during Ontario winters.
2.
Do Amana heat pumps work well in cold weather?
Yes.
Modern Amana heat pumps—especially cold-climate models—are designed to operate efficiently even when temperatures drop well below freezing.
Many homeowners in the Durham Region successfully use them as their primary heating source throughout the winter.
3.
Can a heat pump replace my furnace entirely?
In many cases, yes.
Many homes can rely solely on a cold-climate heat pump.
However, some homeowners prefer a dual-fuel system, where the heat pump handles most heating duties and the furnace acts as backup on the coldest nights.
Twintech can help determine which option is best for you.
4.
How much money can I save with an Amana heat pump?
Savings vary based on home size, insulation, and current heating system.
However, because heat pumps move heat instead of generating it, they’re significantly more efficient than furnaces that burn fuel.
This can lead to lower winter heating bills, especially in well-insulated homes.
5.
Are Amana heat pumps noisy?
Not at all.
Amana units are engineered for quiet, low-vibration operation, making them ideal for suburban neighbourhoods across the Durham Region.
6.
What’s included in Amana’s heat pump warranty?
Amana is known for some of the strongest warranties in the HVAC industry, including long-term compressor and parts protection.
Some premium models even include lifetime unit replacement if the compressor fails.
Twintech ensures your system is properly registered to maintain full warranty eligibility.
7.
How long does a heat pump last?
With proper maintenance, an Amana heat pump typically lasts 15–20 years.
Regular tune-ups provided by Twintech can help maximize lifespan and efficiency.
8.
How often should my heat pump be serviced?
We recommend annual maintenance, ideally before the heating season begins.
Tune-ups help with:
Lower energy consumption
Improved comfort
Early detection of potential issues
Preserving your warranty 9.
Is installation complicated?
Heat pump installation requires specialized training to ensure correct sizing, refrigerant handling, and system calibration.
Twintech’s certified Amana technicians make the process smooth and efficient, typically completing installations within a single day.
10.
Can Amana heat pumps improve indoor air quality?
Yes.
Because heat pumps don’t burn fuel, they don’t produce combustion byproducts.
They also promote better airflow and often integrate with advanced filtration and humidity control systems—ideal for homeowners concerned about winter air quality.
11.
Are heat pumps environmentally friendly?
Absolutely.
Heat pumps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and use significantly less energy.
For Durham Region homeowners looking to shrink their carbon footprint, an Amana heat pump is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make.
12.
How do I know which Amana model is right for my home?
A Twintech specialist will:
Assess your home’s size and insulation
Evaluate existing ductwork
Analyze heating and cooling needs
Recommend the best Amana model for performance and savings
Every home is different, and choosing the right system ensures long-term comfort and efficiency.

On one of the coldest days of winter, our furnace stopped working. Our regular furnace company came and told us we had a CO2 leak and shut us off. Their quote for a new furnace was way too high and they couldn't even install it on the same day. TwinTech was recommended to us by a friend. We called and spoke to Dave who was very nice and knowledgeable. Grant showed up a short time later and a new furnace was installed the same day with no troubles at all. Best of all, we received a higher-end furnace than what was offered by our previous company and at a cheaper price. I would recommend TwinTech with no hesitation at all.

I installed a new furnace and Air conditioner with them. The installation is of high quality and according to standards. The guys are professional and reasonably priced.. I highly recommend them.

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldnt believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!
