Is Your Heat Pump Ready for the Summer?
When most people think of heat pumps, they picture cozy warmth on a cold winter’s day.
But did you know your heat pump can also keep you cool and comfortable all summer long? To ensure peak performance and energy savings during the hot months, it’s important to give your heat pump a quick pre-summer checkup.
1.
Replace or Clean the Filters
Heat pumps work year-round, so their filters can accumulate dust, pet hair, and debris.
Clogged filters reduce efficiency and restrict airflow.
To get your heat pump summer-ready, check the filter and clean or replace it as needed.
A clean filter improves performance and can even reduce your energy bills.
2.
Clear the Outdoor Unit
Your heat pump’s outdoor condenser unit needs space to “breathe.
” Over the winter, debris like leaves, twigs, and dirt may have built up around it.
Before summer arrives, clear away any debris and trim nearby plants.
This allows for better airflow and prevents overheating.
3.
Test the Cooling Mode
Before the heat of summer hits, switch your heat pump to its cooling mode and check that it’s blowing cold air.
If you notice any unusual noises, weak airflow, or warm air coming through the vents, contact a technician for a checkup.
Early detection of problems can prevent costly mid-summer breakdowns.
4.
Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
Professional maintenance is one of the best ways to optimize your heat pump’s summer performance.
A certified HVAC technician can clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and calibrate the thermostat.
This proactive service will help you enjoy reliable cooling all season long.
5.
Consider Upgrading to a Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat lets you program cooling schedules or control your heat pump remotely using a smartphone app.
These features ensure that you only cool your home when needed, saving you money on energy bills and improving comfort.
Conclusion
Your heat pump can keep your home cool and energy-efficient during summer — as long as it’s properly maintained.
By checking the filters, clearing debris, testing its cooling mode, and scheduling a tune-up, you can feel confident that your heat pump is ready for summer’s heat.
Don’t wait until the first hot day to prepare — take these simple steps now and enjoy a comfortable season ahead.
I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.
This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !
They came the day and time they had planned for us and were very fast and efficient! The AC works amazing and it is amazing during the heat of the summer we have already got! Thanks for everything you did for us!
Would recommend this company to friends and family in a heartbeat. Very professional , on time and left no mess when the job was done.
Great customer service. Responsive and professional. I would highly recommend Twintech, I used them previously for repair service and a new air conditioner- very satisfied.
Our air conditioner failed. Made a call and within 15 min a technician was at our door.
The issue was fixed and many suggestions were provided.
Thanks to Mitch. Great service !
Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.
My furnace broke down last month. The team was quick to respond, courteous, professional and mindful of COVID-19 concerns. I highly recommend them if you are considering replacing or servicing your HVAC equipment.
I was very happy with the installation and price. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Twintech.

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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
