New Years Resolutions for Your Home
Posted On: December 22, 2021
People commonly make New Year’s resolutions for things that concern their personal lives. This year, however, you might want to consider making resolutions that involve keeping your home a safe and enjoyable place from the outside world.
Here are some HVAC resolutions you can make to ensure your system will not let you down this year:
Clean out dryer lint.
If you notice that it takes a longer time than normal for loads to dry in your clothes dryer, then it might be high time to clean out the vent. First, you should detach the duct from behind the unit and then push a plumbing snake through your dryer vent from outside. Then, tie a rag securely to the snake end. Afterwards, pull the cloth and snake through a couple of times and clean your vent. This will not only save energy but it will also prevent a fire as well.
Improve the efficiency of your hot water system.
Keep in mind that old tap water can be dangerous. Did you know that water heaters set too high can send thousands to hospitals each year with burns? Most of them are children. Safety experts recommend a setting of 120 degrees F but finding that setting is not that easy since most dials are not labeled with numbers. What you can do is run hot water at the tap closest to the water heater for at least three minutes. Fill a glass then check the temperature. If the water is above 120 degrees, adjust the dial, wait for three hours then check again. Repeat this procedure until you reach the right temperature.
Upgrade or replace windows.
If you have old windows that are old and leaky, then it may be high time to replace them with newer energy-efficient models. You can also boost their efficiency with weather stripping and storm windows. Replacing windows can result in cost savings, but the larger savings can be associated with replacing single-glazed windows.
Replace an older furnace with a high-efficiency system.
If your furnace was built before 1992, it probably wastes about 35% of the fuel it uses – and it is probably near the end of its service life. Early replacement with a condensing furnace with annual efficiency of at least 90% is your best option. You may save as much as 27% on your heating bill. If your furnace was installed after 1991, then it probably has an annual fuel utilization efficiency rating of 80%, so the savings from replacement is smaller – but at least 11% if the unit is working perfectly.
If you need help with your furnaces and hot water systems, we are here to help you. Let us improve your home for 2022 together! Give us a call today.

I had a problem with the Furnace (Armstrong ultra V) and Greg diagnosed it on the phone. Even told me what the issue was and I was able to fix it. This level of service from a Business that is almost unknown today.
If you require service, reach out to Greg. I will definitely use them in the future!

We have been shopping for a heat pump for our home. We had 3 reps come in and make recommendations and provide a quote. Of the 3, Bob was so clearly so much more qualified, thorough and informed than the other two that the decision was a no brainer. As soon as we get our audit results Twintech will be installing our heat pump.

knowledgeable sales person, did not try to up-sell unneeded features,
and was easily contacted to ensure customer satisfaction.
Installation was expertly done by friendly guys, everything explained for use of the products. Old products were removed and returned to rental company as part of the service. Follow up call was received to check all was well. This is my second time using this company as I was fully satisfied with my previous air conditioning unit installation

Twintech recently installed a new furnace for me. Bob did a great job assessing what I had and needed. All details well explained including the importance of proper sizing of furnace and the value of multi stage heating and the variable speed blower. As a nurse, indoor air quality is a high priority so the variable speed motor running continuous is so good. 24/7 air cleaning. Greg did a great job on install, attention to detail so appreciated. Already notice such an improved comfort and heat. Thank you Twintech! You come as advertised. I will recommend to anyone in need of heating or cooling!

We received various quotes from 4 different companies and right away, the prompt and thorough communication from Bob from TwinTech stood out. He introduced himself, sent sample sites and information, and always confirmed any agreed to dates and times.
Bob was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the topic of HVAC and it was clear he was passionate about his profession. He approached the job as if he was installing in his own home.
Prior to the new furnace & A/C installation, our old units were loud and inefficient - having several rooms feeling too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. After installing the recommended units, all rooms stay at a consistent temperature- even the finished basement.
I highly recommend the TwinTech team - just an outstanding job at a reasonable price point.

The experience with Twintech was great from the start. Bob the sales manager was friendly and professional and did not use any pressure tactics. He was very knowledgeable.
The installation was completed by the twin owners in about 6-7 hours. Clean quiet easy going didn't mind when I poked my head in to see progress. Highly recommend

Just choose Twintech!
I do not usually write reviews and should have done this a few days sooner. But I was and still am enjoying the increased comfort in my home from the new furnace installed by Twintech.
From my initial call and conversation with Bob, I already had a good feeling that I would like this company.
I was provided information, pictures of great quality work previously completed.
When Bob came for the inspection of the furnace he was amazing. He gave so much great advice and told me all the areas that his team would resolve. I was very impressed as some of what he had suggested I had only seen in Youtube videos. The honesty and options for payment made this a no brainer. I decided I would like Twintech to replace my furnace.
The work was scheduled promptly week and took place within half a day. Gregg came to install the new furnace. Again amazing they carried out all the work promised. What was left was the best I have seen and speaks to how they take pride in the work they do and deliver. Gregg was really polite and professional and the furnace in my basement is a work of art.

They were friendly, fast, clean, & answered any questions I had. They are also offering an interest free 12 month payment plan - that really helped me out since this was an unexpected expense.

I had Twintech heating install a new furnace and ac unit. Bob, the sales rep, the installation team of Greg and Mitch were a 10 across the board. They were never pushy, gave me time to think about it. Once we decided , they were there in 24hrs. Great company to deal with. And they were nearly 5k less than a competitors quote for a top of the line furnace/ac unit verse mid level.
I highly recommend Twintech heating to anyone interested in anything HVAC.
