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.

Fantastic team. Completed the job as per the specifications and in under 3 hours. Highly recommended Twintech.

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.

Greg came over at 9:30pm to rescue my daughter and I from a horrible experience with Enercare that evening. He was professional. Kind. And got us what we needed quickly and at an afford price. I would 100% recommend calling on Greg and his team for any of your heating and cooling needs in the future!!

Installed a great hot water heater when our old one failed. When my furnace died during cold weather they showed up quickly and my house was warm before my wife got home. :)

I dont usually right reviews but when you receive service like this I felt it was a must. Honest and fair. I Have 4 children and on Xmas eve my furnace stopped working and a gentleman came out and got me up and running so at least we would have heat for the holidays. As promised he would replace my furnace early in the new year. The job was completed on time, great price for quality furnace and extremely clean and professional job. Would have never known anyone was in the house. Not a spec of dust or mess from lugging out an old rusty furnace. If you have any ac or heating concerns twintech is your only option. I was royally impressed with and Im sure you will be too.

This Company is terrific. No high pressure sales and they deliver exactly what they promise to deliver. The new furnace is great and we now get consistent temperatures throughout the house. The installers were great and very efficient and completed the work on schedule on the promised day. Everyone representing this company was very aware of their presence in our house and worked diligently to keep our home as uninterrupted and as clean as was humanly possible. We did not need to go around the house to clean up after they left, what a nice surprise. We have had follow up by the company to ensure everything is to our satisfaction. How unusual in today's environment. The impression left by Twintech is that they care about us and our home. This is so refreshing in today's high tech world. Out thanks go out to Dave in sales and G, G, and P (the installers).

The entire process was prompt and professional, from the initial quote to the installation of the new furnace. The team installed the new furnace and removed the old one in approx. 4 hrs. The guys were very knowledgeable and gave me lots of information. I have used Twintech before for a new A/C installation and new I was in good hands.

The overall experience dealing with this company was great from start to finish when getting a new furnace and ac this year. Everything was clearly explained to us during our consultation with Dave and there were no surprises with added costs. The work was done as expected and their response time to inquiries were very timely generally within a few hours or less. They are all very professional and was a pleasure to do business with them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest quality professional service.
