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.

Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.

I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. Ive seen many installs from other contractors and I couldnt be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
