Clever Ways to Save on Electricity
Posted On: July 14, 2022
It is never too late to start saving electricity. When it comes to your energy consumption, there are about a million and one tweaks you can make that do not require you to go out on a limb. The little changes you do can make a world of difference once they add up.
In today’s blog, we talk about clever ways you can start saving electricity. Read so you can start saving TODAY!
- Install high-performance films on your windows.
There are a variety of easy-to-install window films in the market today that can help prevent harmful UV rays from entering your home. Not only do these films protect your furniture but can also help keep your home well insulated –which makes for a more efficient use of your HVAC system.
- Fill your fridge to the brim.
A loosely packed refrigerator and freezer can use up a whole lot of energy. Make an effort to stuff as much things in your fridge to prevent hot air from penetrating whenever someone opens the door.
- Upgrade your refrigerator.
Investing in a new refrigerator may be a bit expensive but can be beneficial in the long run. Newer models are more energy efficient and cost far less to operate compared to older models.
If you have an old rickety fridge from the 1990s, you might want to consider investing in a new one to save more on your next electric bill.
- Air dry your clothes.
Well, not all of them. You can opt to air-dry clothes made from lighter fabrics to save on energy. You can opt to air-dry clothes that you normally wear around the house since they don’t have to look as presentable as the clothes you wear outside.
- Go for fuller load.
Instead of washing your clothes in several small batches, opt to do them in fuller loads. Washing your clothes in several batches consume the same amount of water and electricity as full loads so make the wise move and wash clothes in bigger batches, instead.
- Cover your floor.
Carpets and rugs can help keep the heat inside your home – reducing the strain on your heating system. They not only do they retain the heat really well but can also make any space in your home warmer and cosier.
- Giving your HVAC some TLC.
Investing in a routine check up can help you save energy in the long run. A well-maintained HVAC system runs more efficiently and uses less electricity.

I had cold and hot spots all over my 70 yr old home. My furnace is quite new and Greg optimized the fan and furnace. The original installer just took it out of the box with factory settings and installed it- basically running at 50% of capacity. Greg also routed heat into my laundry room, yeah - so now I can renovate laundry room - thanks Greg. He is honest, professional and knowledgeable. I will be calling him back in the spring to optimize my AC as well.

Wonderful from beginning to end. I tend to fret and worry about home improvements but the excellent team at TwinTech put my mind as ease. They listen, they are patient and best of all ... the work they did is amazing! I chose the Goodman 80K BTU 2 stage furnace and the matching Goodman air conditioner. Greg, Grant and Poitr "Peter" arrived on time, took great care, explained everything to me and they answered all of my questions. They carefully adjusted the factory settings to optimize the furnace for my house and they also checked the duct work in the basement. Dave, the Sales Manager, came by to say "hello" and to see if I was happy. YES, I am happy with the work! The furnace is very quiet. I have it running on low just to circulate the air in the house and it's so much quieter than my old furnace. When I need new duct work for an upcoming basement renovation TwinTech will be my first choice. I highly recommend TwinTech. PS. They were even nice to my dogs.

Greg was prompt on the scheduled day of installation and the work was done well within the time estimated beforehand. Installation was neat and the equipment and scope of work was as specified in the quote. One item I must point out is that we were faced with a "No Heat" situation the day before the scheduled installation and Greg came out to address it free of charge. Not only that, but he also corrected an installation fault with our smart thermostat that was not part of the original job, again free of charge.

Greg came by to do a routine furnace checkup. He was very knowledgeable and professional, letting me know what's being checked/adjusted and giving me tips to ensure everything runs smooth. Very honest and upfront about what's working fine vs. what may need to be fixed/replaced. He didn't attempt to up sell anything that wasn't necessary. I'm glad to have finally found someone I can trust and rely on for all my HVAC needs - furnace, A/C, and hot water tank.

I'm very happy with the work that was done. Everyone from salesperson to the installers were friendly and professional. They were on time and cleaned up the job site after it was installed. They also answered all my follow up questions promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them or recommend them again.

Thanks to the team at Twin Tech for a great job installing my new heat pump/ac unit. The guys were very polite and professional. When they left you would never have known they had been there except for the new Mitsubishi unit on the wall!! would highly recommend the Twin Tech team.

Very impressed with this company. They show up on time , kept my place clean and after they left it looks like they were never there. Very professional team. Those people know what they doing . Their installation was on the highest standard. They are very knowledgeable especially they're worker Peter. I strongly recommend this company to everybody. After the installation I receive the call making sure I'm satisfied with their products and their job. Bravo!!!

Greg and his brother were referred to us by a friend. They arrived when they said they would, did an exceptional job and left the place as tidy or tidier then they found it. Their professionalism is only surpassed by their kind and friendly demeanor. Even after several calls to help me with my high tech thermostat I feel that I could always call with any concern (No one responds to my texts as quickly as Greg) and have a friendly helpful response. I found out their grandfather started the company and now as a 3rd generation company, they are doing their grandfather proud. I would highly recommend Twintech over any other hvac company out there.
