Benefits of a Humidifier

Have you ever found the air in your home to be stuffy, do you or your family suffer from dry skin or have a cough that won't go away? If the answer is yes, then you need a humidifier.


Humidifiers work by adding moisture to the air, and they should be used in both the winter and summer months when the furnace and air conditioner are on the most.


While we often associate humidity as being uncomfortable, especially when outside during the summer, it can be beneficial to your home. But it's important to remember that too much moisture can have the opposite effect, a safe level should be around 30-50 percent. Some central humidifiers are equipped with a tool that will measure humidity levels.


Humidifiers can help relieve the following symptoms associated with dry air.


  • Dry skin
  • Sinus congestion and headaches
  • Dry coughs
  • Cracked lips
  • Nose irritation

They can also promote better sleep by keeping your airways from drying out.


The most common humidifiers used in homes are console and portable units. Console units are large and usually have wheels so they can be easily moved from room to room.


Personal humidifiers are smaller in size, and they are used in bedrooms and when traveling.


It is important to know that safety around humidifiers is essential; burns are common with these units, so be sure to keep them away from young children. You should clean the bucket and filter with soap and water every three days to prevent bacterial growth and always use distilled or demineralized water when filling the unit.


To keep your family healthy, you should also regularly change the filter in your heating and cooling unit.


There are many brands of humidifiers out there, some of them ranging from inexpensive to expensive. When shopping for a unit, it's always best to look around and compare. 


At Twintech, we are always here to help, whether it's a heating and cooling problem or an issue with your water heater. All you need to do is give us a call at 1-844-894-6832, we will answer any questions you may have.

Very pleased with the installation of our new furnace and A/C unit. From quotation stage to the completion of the job Twintech was very professional.
Thank you for a job well done.

by Darren, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My old water heater quit on me. I called TwinTech. In less than 4 days, I had my new water heater installed and the old one taken away. The whole process was quick, easy, pleasant, and well done. This is the third time I've dealt with TwinTech and I've been satisfied each time.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.

We are very pleased with the work done by Twintech. They were very professional from start to finish. Dave came to our home and gave us a very competitive quote for new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. The installers were very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend them.

by Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
