HVAC 101: Awesome Cleaning Projects
HVAC systems are important in our daily lives, yet we often forget to take care of them properly (or clean them at least).
You might think that you do not have the skills to clean them on your own, but there are still some things you can do in order to keep them running smoothly.
Here are some of them: #01.
Always check your heating and air conditioning equipment before the start of a new season.
#02.
Inspect and replace your air conditioning and furnace filters every month.
There are many different types to choose from and they depend on your needs.
#03.
Most air conditioners come with a drainage hole on the base of their cabinet, right beneath their evaporator fins.
The drainage hole needs to be kept clear in order for your air conditioning unit to work efficiently.
#04.
Keep your dehumidifier working properly by removing its housing, just make sure to let the unit dry completely.
You should also vacuum every accessible crevice and surface.
#05.
Be sure to clean your bathroom fans at least once or twice a year.
To wash it, take the cover off, use soapy water and clean the dirt off the fan blades with a toothbrush.
Do not forget to turn the power off when you do this.
#06.
The flappers on your toilet should also be checked at least once or twice a year.
If they are showing any signs of wear and tear, then you should have them replaced before they start leaking and wasting water.
#07.
You should also clean all your faucet handles.
Remove them and clean their insides to keep their screws from corroding.
Rust removers often do the trick (use them only when necessary).
#08.
If you have carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, their batteries should be replaced twice a year.
While you are at it, you should also vacuum or dust off the detectors to keep them working efficiently.
#09.
If you have a fire extinguisher at home, make sure it is fully charged.
Put it in a place where you can reach it easily and quickly.
#10.
Your windows and doors should also be checked annually.
Inspect them and if it is necessary, caulk around them.
This helps keep out heat and humidity during the warmer months and cold drafts during the colder months.
It will also save you money on your utility bills all year round! These are just some helpful cleaning tips for some of the important parts of the home that help you live comfortably.

Twin Tech was great; they were honest, reliable and very thorough. I would recommend their services and will definitely be using them in the future.
Hi Dave, Thank You Dave for coming to my aid this past summer when my AC quit. Your men did a great job installing and cleaning the area. The unit is working very well and i would highly recommend your company TwinTech. Dave you delivered what you sold and i truly appreciate it.
My experience with TWINTECH has been excellent, start to finish. While doing market research I made a list of several local companies and called them for some high-level information. Dave was the first to call me back, and the only one to book a meeting to see my place in order to give an informed, accurate estimate. He reviewed the different AC makes and models with me, explained the technology, and made a recommendation appropriate to my home. The installation went smoothly. I had one post-installation issue there was moderate noise/vibrations coming from the duct system. I called about this, booked an appointment, and the technician resolved the issue during the service call. I feel assured having a 10-year warranty on parts & labour. I would recommend TWINTECH to anyone considering an AC or furnace for their home. Regards,
Thank you for your attention to detail regarding my purchase of a new air conditioner. Twintech arrived at the appointed time and were totally professional on the installation process completing the job quickly. PS thanks for the assistance applying for the government rebate
Dave and the guys from Twintech did a great job of installing my AC. They came on time did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves! Do not waste your time call Twintech first.
My AC unit was not working at all and our furnace that was still working but not giving us any trouble was over 15 years old. So I had 3 heating companies come out to give us a quote on replacing both the AC and the furnace at the same time. Two companies right away recommended that I replace both units simply because they were old. Dave from twintech however suggested that we save some money and replace the AC only because it seemed to him that the furnace was still in great shape and was running fine. He told us that he would have his technicians inspect the furnace thoroughly when they had it apart to install the AC. My husband was at home when the furnace was apart and was very impressed when the tech took him downstairs to personally show him that the furnace was in excellent working condition. He also cleaned the furnace at no extra charge. So now I have an honest heating and AC company that I can highly recommend to other home owners. Great job Thank You!
I had made the decision to replace my furnace and AC earlier this year. After meeting with several HVAC contractors I decided to go with Dave and his company. Dave was on time, polite, friendly and very professional. He took the time to answer all my questions and to explain the scope of work that would be required to do the job. The technicians arrived on time did a professional installation and completed the job on schedule. They respected my home by putting down vinyl runners to protect my floors and did a very thorough clean up. Im very pleased with my decision to go with Dave and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering upgrading their furnace and air conditioner.
I have no problem in recommending Dave and the TWINTECH team to any home owner who is looking for quality heating and AC products and expert service.
Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.
I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. Ive seen many installs from other contractors and I couldnt be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!

I definitely recommend TwinTech!
