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.

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.

by Robert, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.

by John Armstrong, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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 !

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Flawless transaction. They did exactly what they promised, showed-up on time, cleaned-up, and were highly professional. Highly recommended.

by Bill Edmondson on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Salesperson and 2 man installation team were all professional and

my questions. The quality of their work demonstrated their experience
and expertise in their field.

Great experience getting an old furnace replaced.
Sales Guy (Dave) was great - honest, responsive, and friendly.
The work itself was done quickly and we are very happy with the outcome, thank you! We recommend TwinTech!

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The service was Twintech was excellent.
Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.
