Ways to Save Money on Your Energy Bill

Homeowners are always on the lookout for clever ways to save money on electricity. In our quest, we stumble upon bizarre and outlandish tips that we are almost always willing to believe.


In this article, we talk about some of the most tried and tested ways you can save on your next electric bill. Read on and spare yourself from experimenting with old wives’ tales!


Rug up!


Covering bare floors can do wonders in keeping the cold from entering your home. Not only do carpets and rugs do wonders in heat retention, they make any space more comfortable, too!


Regularly change your filters.


Regularly changing your filters ensures your home heating is running at its most efficient-state. It only takes a few minutes and can save you tons. This is also the best time to see if there is anything loose or out of place.


If you suspect something is wrong with your heating, call the experts at Twin Tech Heating & Cooling. Twin Tech Heating & Cooling provides expert maintenance and repair services in the greater Ontario Area. Pick up the phone and give us a call at 1.844.894.6832 and start saving on heating, today!


Keep the temperature low when you are not around.


This may not sound new for you but homeowners tend to neglect their this tweak before they leave the house –either that or they think it's a smart way to keep the place warm for when they come home.


Failing to lower the temperature when you are away wastes so much energy, thus causing an insurmountable increase in your electric bill. Try sticking a note by the door that reminds you to adjust the temperature just when you are about to leave the house.


Use the microwave over the oven.


When it comes to heating food and leftovers, using a microwave will cost less compared to using the conventional oven. There is no need to preheat a microwave, which means you can spend more time actually heating your food and spend less on your energy bill.


Choose LED lights.


Most homeowners veer away from buying LED lights because of the steep upfront costs. Though more expensive than their conventional counterpart, LED lights are virtually unbreakable and consume far less electricity.


Aside from saving you money from all the replacements, LED lights also leave little to no carbon footprint, which makes switching an obvious and eco-friendly choice.


Wash your clothes with cold water.


Your clothes don't really need heated water so spare yourself from the added expense and just use cold water.


Not only does cold water work just as well as hot water, they also prevent the fibres from expanding – extending your clothes’ shelf life.


These are a few tips you can do to save some money on your next month’s electric bill. These are just tiny tweaks that can add up to huge savings in the long run – which makes trying them worth your while.

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !

They came the day and time they had planned for us and were very fast and efficient! The AC works amazing and it is amazing during the heat of the summer we have already got! Thanks for everything you did for us!

Great customer service. Responsive and professional. I would highly recommend Twintech, I used them previously for repair service and a new air conditioner- very satisfied.

by dianeramsden on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our air conditioner failed. Made a call and within 15 min a technician was at our door.
The issue was fixed and many suggestions were provided.
Thanks to Mitch. Great service !

by Kazuko on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My furnace broke down last month. The team was quick to respond, courteous, professional and mindful of COVID-19 concerns. I highly recommend them if you are considering replacing or servicing your HVAC equipment.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I was very happy with the installation and price. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Twintech.

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!
