Ways to Save Money on Your Energy Bill
Posted On: September 3, 2021
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.

This is the second time we have had Twintech to our house. A couple of summers ago they were in for an issue with our air conditioning. This time it was our furnace having an issue. It was shutting off randomly and not coming back on. Greg came right away and took the time to investigate thoroughly and explain what was going with the furnace. Both times I have been thoroughly impressed with their speed, customer service, and quality of work. I HIGHLY recommend Twintech.

Extremely happy.
So we were in no rush to replace our old units and took the time to do some research and get a number of quotes.
Twintech came in at around the middle of the pack for price but what convinced us to go with them was Bob, the representative that came to our house. Bob was by far the most professional of all the reps that we met with. He took the time to explain everything, what would work best for us and why. He really did seem very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his stuff.
As promised on the day of install the crew showed up on time and got to work with minimal impact on us
..they were professional, clean, tidy and got the system up and running ahead of schedule...they made a couple of adjustments to the system to optimize it for our house.
The crew left the house clean and tidy.
Bob the rep showed up to check in and give us a few tips ..
It's been a week since install and all is good.
Our overall experience with Twintech has been excellent from start to finish and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Thank u.

It was a refreshing experience interacting with the Twintech team. From Bob, the sales consultant, who articulated in layman's terms all the options available and reasons for making any selection. This was done without the prevailing pressure tactics so commonplace today.
Before proceeding Mitch, the technician, at our request conducted a service check on our 30 yr old furnace. His report was positive indicating no urgency to replace it. Again no pressure tactics.
Three days after first meeting with Bob, the installation team of Greg and
Spencer completed the installation within the planned time frame.
A very professional, courteous and transparent team which delivered on their promise. I highly recommend Twintech.

I had a great experience with TwinTech. The company offered a reasonable quote, and performed a quick and clean installation. The installer Greg was experienced, professional and courteous. He explained the services he performed and gave recommendations on maintain the new furnace.
The salesman Bob was honest
and professional and educated me on how to achieve optimal performance.
All communication from them was quick and they came the following day. I was pleased with the service and would recommend them.

I had a really great experience with these guys. The salesman Bob was clearly very knowledgeable about everything to do with heating and cooling a home, spent a lot of time with us going over the details of the job, never rushed us and came back after the install to make sure we were happy. The installation crew was excellent, they covered the floors all the way from outside down to the basement furnace room, kept the place clean, got the work done on time and were very friendly. Ive got 15 years in the contracting/ construction industry and these guys are one of the most professional companys Ive dealt with. Great company!

Had great service and clean-up was good. Was happy with my salesman. They were very friendly and helpful. I needed a new furnace as our was over 20 years old. The furnace and air-conditioner work great and they are very quiet. I am very pleased with the service and product I received.

Met with Dave for the sales process and he was great about explaining and going over everything to us. The install happened very quickly and the team were super professional and friendly. We are very happy with this company and their services and we definitely recommend them to others. Thankful my sister recommended them to me!

Reviews for Twintech were good, and they did not disappoint. After an initial visit to discuss the suitable AC unit for replacement, an installation date was available in just a couple of days, and everything was installed without a hitch. Highly recommended
