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.

Very pleased with the installation of our new furnace and A/C unit. From quotation stage to the completion of the job Twintech was very professional.
Thank you for a job well done.

My old water heater quit on me. I called TwinTech. In less than 4 days, I had my new water heater installed and the old one taken away. The whole process was quick, easy, pleasant, and well done. This is the third time I've dealt with TwinTech and I've been satisfied each time.

I had them replace my furnace last year. When it came time for the air conditioner this year, I did not hesitate to call Twintech again. I will also have them perform regular maintenance on them.

We required a new HVAC replacement after running the old
system for 18 years.
Dave understood our requirements and gave us a quote that
covered all the necessary items.
Installation was fast and very tidy. Everything works as
it should. Our thanks to Greg, Mitch and others for their
excellent work. Recommend this family owned business to
anyone else, considering HVAC or other work.

I needed a new furnace and A/C to replace my 21 yr. old units, and went to the internet to view potential companies in May, I received 3 quotes,
and chose Twintech based on their salesman Dave who was very detailed and covered off everything on what Twintech was all about,
an extremely dedicated company with so many years of experience, and after reading the on line reviews I was sold on Twintech, who did not disappoint as the installation team were top notch with Greg leading,
I would highly recommend this company without any doubts, in my books they are first class all the way. Our new Amana furnace and A/C are working perfectly !
