Durham Region Homeowner FAQ - Amana Heat Pumps

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.

by Aileen Johnson in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

All staff concerned were total professionals. Sales rep Dave was like having an old friend at your house. No up selling or pressure, just good honest facts and figures. The owners and assistant who installed our unit worked quietly, efficiently and left our home clean. We could not have been happier with the service and attention we were given. We are so happy a family member recommended Twintech. She said "don't call anyone else, just call them...they are amazing". And they were!!! Thank you guys for the great work!!! A. Johnson

by Lynsey from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are completing a large project adding an addition on to our house and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to trust Twintech with our hvac work. They removed and replaced the furnace, installed a new A/C unit, swapped our tank water heater for a tankless unit, and completed ducting and new A/C lines through the addition. Without hesitation we would recommend Twintech to anyone.

by Oldtown in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Price was very fair in my opinion .We have a family member with a medical condition and I think they made us a priority .Very happy with these guys . (Nice guys ) Stu Leffler Ajax.

by Mike B. Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff. Sales staff (David Gergley) excellent in knowledge and getting the job setup and installation was very prompt. Greg and Peter (technicians) knew their stuff and stuck around after completion to make sure it all worked properly and that I understood how it all was installed and how the unit worked. Would highly recommend them! Thanks for a great job-house is now cool and comfortable.

by Steve S in Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had Twintech install a brand new air condition back in June of this year and I'm very happy with their service. I have a very busy schedule so I sent out an email to 7 or 8 HVAC companies just to get an idea of what it would cost. Dave at Twintech and only one other company were able to give me an approximate quote through email. Many of the companies I reached out to didn't even respond. I decided to meet with Dave and he was very friendly and professional. He gave me a good quote for a name brand/energy efficient AC with installation from their certified technicians. It was an easy decision to go with them.

Within a week I had the unit installed and working perfectly. Their technicians were very helpful and answered all of my questions. I'll definitely be calling them back for all of my HVAC needs in the future.

by Tina - Whitby in Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The people from Twintech were very friendly and personable...from the salesman to the installers. The installation was done as scheduled. I love my new air conditioner. My neighbour has a York and that thing is so noisy compared to my Goodman!! Thanks Twintech!!

by Cathy f. from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Thank you, Twintech. They installed an A/C in my home in the middle of a heat wave which we appreciated very much. I found the team good, not overly friendly, other than the brothers. Dave, the salesperson was awesome, and, it's because of him that I was sold on using Twintech. I had other questions about additional work I am curious about and would have liked them to follow up and provide a quote. Other than that, which ultimately is not related to the great work they did, I would definitely recommend them, although I don't believe they go outside of Durham (check with them).

by Linda from Durham Region on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We have used this company a few times so I can't remember exactly what we paid but I do know that their fees are always very reasonable.

The first time we called Greg was when our furnace conked out while we were away. He came right away, showed me the problem and fixed it immediately.

The second time was when we needed an air conditioner moved and lifted to a platform. Again, he showed up on time, completed the job quickly (including a new gas line) and the fee was very reasonable.

We have received a quote from Greg to replace the air conditioner and furnace and when we are ready to move ahead, we will be calling him.

I have no hesitation in recommending TwinTech!

by AS from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our rating for Twintech is 5/5 stars. They are very professional and efficient, and the transparency they maintain right from the preliminary assessment till the day of the work is a testament to their experience in the field. We had Twintech replace our air conditioning and furnace, and we appreciate the efforts taken by Greg.

by Raymond from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

After 18 years my Air conditioner died in the middle of a heat wave. I entered my information on Home Stars and within the hour Dave from Twin Tech responded and offered to meet me as soon as possible depending on my availability. Dave was very knowledgeable about the products Twin Tech offered and even though this was the first quote I received . I felt very comfortable in giving Twin Tech my business. maybe it was the professional approach. Needless to say that the crew with Greg and Grant arrived promptly at the time they committed to were very professional and within a few hours had the place cool. They cleaned up and one would never know that I had work done . I know that the System is new and I probably wont need to worry about it for some time. However with the professionalism displayed by the crew I feel assured that should I need to call for service Twin Tech will respond. I also know that should I need a new Heating system I will go with Twin Tech. Keep up the good work.

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!
