Make Your Home Comfier with These Great Tips
Posted On: May 7, 2018
The summer heat, as well as the humidity, can make your home just as comfortable as it is during the winter, but there are some things that you can do and tools that you can use to keep your abode as comfortable as possible – no matter how hot it gets outdoors.
Here are some few great tips that will help you beat the heat and that will keep you as cool as possible throughout the summer months: OPEN THE WINDOWS AT THE RIGHT TIME.
As tempting as it is to open up the windows and to let some fresh air into your home, know that the best time to open your windows is when you know that the air outside is cooler than the air inside your home.
If you open your windows when it is hot outside will only make your home feel hotter.
Remember that hot air rises, so you can make a natural draft in your home just by simply opening up the windows on your lower floor – preferable on the shadier side – as well as the windows upstairs that are located on the hotter side of your property.
You can also place a window-mounted fan in the window upstairs.
CHECK YOUR HOME’S INSULATION.
Insulation is known to you warm throughout the winter, but the right insulation can also keep your home cooler during the summer.
Simply put, if there are some areas in your home where air can leak from the outside, then there will also be less hot air that can penetrate and drive the temperature up inside your home.
If you locate air leaks, then make sure to seal them off if you want to save on energy bills.
It is a wise move to add additional insulation whenever necessary if you want to save even more money and you want to remain more comfortable.
BE WISE WITH YOUR LANDSCAPING.
It is good to take steps inside your home, but remember, you can also take steps outside of your house to keep every room cool throughout the summer.
For instance, you should consider planting some trees and shrubs near the east-facing and west-facing windows of your property.
These plants and trees will provide shade from the harsh summer rays, thus, promoting a cooler temperature inside your home.
If, however, you cannot plant these shrubs or trees, you can instead set up curtains or blinds that can help perform the same duty from the inside of your home.

I called Twintech during the Covid 19 crisis because our furnace was broken and it was still very cold during the nights. Dave answered all of my questions by phone but wanted to come have a look but only if our family felt comfortable having someone visit during the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and was able to attend that very same affternoon.
He was very courteous and informative but most importantly he respected his and our safety by wearing medical gloves in our home and maintaining proper physical distancing. He reviewed the various options of the products that suited our needs going over not only price but quality of workmanship, warrantees and where the product was manufactured which were all important factors in making such a large purchase. You could tell that Dave had been in this industry for a very long time.
The installation was done by a fine young gentleman the very next day and we now have a toasty warm home to ride out this crisis in while humming along at 96% efficiency!
I would recommend this very professional, small family business for anyone in need of HVAC equipment or maintenance.

My special thanks to Twintech teams! They had replaced my furnace and A/C, and installed a new humidifier for me 2 weeks ago. Dave, the sales manager, not only provided me with an honest quote on the best HVAC products with best quality and warranties, he also arranged portable heaters for me and sent supporting docs to energy company for energy audit. Above and beyond service!
Greg, Grant, Mitch had worked tirelessly and professionally to perform the HVAC installation. They worked with professional tools, and performed proper measurement readings after installation. They are very patient with all my questions, and very pleasant to communicate.
Great work guys! This company sure knows their products and they stand behind their services. My home comfort level has improved! I am glad that I can support an ethical and honest local family business.

Furnace broke down on a Wednesday, shopped around for prices and Friday Twintechs name came up from a referral from my wife's work. Called Dave 11 am, he came over around 1 pm. Gave me a very good price, I accepted. The guys were there two hours later to take the old furnace out and install the new one. All finished by 6:30pm. Finally heat.
They were very pleasant and helpful. As a result we are doing our A/C later this year with this company.

After some extensive research, we settled on Twintech for our new furnace. The service - from Dave's initial visit - through to the installation was absolutely fantastic.
Dave was super-patient with our many questions, did not try to "up-sell" us into buying things we don't need, knowledgeable, friendly and all-around an excellent Advisor.
I've forgotten the names of the installers but they were superb as well. They showed up on-time, did all the work with no mess or intrusion, removed the old furnace and installed the new one in one day; all with no impacts to our day-to-day life.
I cannot recommend Twintech enough, especially over any of 'bigger guys' who tried to sell us a bunch of thing we don't need. Twintech were fantastic and my wife and I are very pleased with our purchase.

From the minute I met Dave and discussed my new furnace needs I knew I was in good hands. He was patient, knowledgeable and very professional through the quotation process.
Grant and Greg did an outstanding job on the install. They did a great job of explaining the defects with my old furnace. The quality of the installation was excellent and the attention to detail was on another level. The old adage You get what you pay for couldnt be more true as I feel I received great value, skilled expertise and high quality customer service. I highly recommend Twintech for all your heating and cooling needs.

Glad to have found a not-too-big local firm that provided the needed expertise, quality workmanship, and competitive pricing as well. In and out in one day, removed the old units, did a nice job installing all of the new units, and left no debris. Even have a service contract that far outshined the big company offerings. Would definitely recommend them.

Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.

Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.
