Signs Your Home Needs a Heat Pump
Posted On: August 8, 2025
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your home’s heating and cooling, a heat pump could be the perfect solution.
Heat pumps offer energy efficiency, year-round comfort, and long-term savings—but how do you know when it’s time to make the switch? At Twintech Heating & Cooling, we help homeowners across the Durham Region and Toronto recognize the signs that a heat pump might be right for them.
1.
Rising Energy Bills
If your monthly utility bills keep climbing, your current system may be working harder than it should.
Heat pumps move heat rather than generating it, making them far more energy-efficient than many furnaces or electric baseboard heaters.
2.
Uneven Temperatures in Your Home
Do you notice certain rooms that are too hot in summer and too cold in winter? A properly installed heat pump can help distribute comfortable air evenly throughout your home, eliminating those frustrating hot and cold spots.
3.
Frequent Repairs to Your Current System
If your furnace or air conditioner is breaking down more often, it might make more sense to replace it with a modern, efficient heat pump.
This one system can replace both your AC and much of your heating needs.
4.
Your System Is More Than 10–15 Years Old
Heating and cooling equipment doesn’t last forever.
If your current system is nearing the end of its life, upgrading to a heat pump can give you improved performance, lower energy costs, and modern features.
5.
You Want a Greener, More Sustainable Home
Heat pumps use less energy and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, making them an excellent choice for eco-conscious homeowners in Southern Ontario.

Twintech's Salesman Dave arrived promptly was friendly and courteous, listened and assured us the installation would be completed according to our requests. The crew arrived early morning on May 11th, 2018 and worked through till late afternoon non-stop. They were very friendly, very professional, their expertise was excellent, their workmanship outstanding and the installation was completed in a timely and efficient manner. We were completely satisfied and happy with the quality of the work.

I had cold and hot spots all over my 70 yr old home. My furnace is quite new and Greg optimized the fan and furnace. The original installer just took it out of the box with factory settings and installed it- basically running at 50% of capacity. Greg also routed heat into my laundry room, yeah - so now I can renovate laundry room - thanks Greg. He is honest, professional and knowledgeable. I will be calling him back in the spring to optimize my AC as well.

Wonderful from beginning to end. I tend to fret and worry about home improvements but the excellent team at TwinTech put my mind as ease. They listen, they are patient and best of all ... the work they did is amazing! I chose the Goodman 80K BTU 2 stage furnace and the matching Goodman air conditioner. Greg, Grant and Poitr "Peter" arrived on time, took great care, explained everything to me and they answered all of my questions. They carefully adjusted the factory settings to optimize the furnace for my house and they also checked the duct work in the basement. Dave, the Sales Manager, came by to say "hello" and to see if I was happy. YES, I am happy with the work! The furnace is very quiet. I have it running on low just to circulate the air in the house and it's so much quieter than my old furnace. When I need new duct work for an upcoming basement renovation TwinTech will be my first choice. I highly recommend TwinTech. PS. They were even nice to my dogs.

Greg was prompt on the scheduled day of installation and the work was done well within the time estimated beforehand. Installation was neat and the equipment and scope of work was as specified in the quote. One item I must point out is that we were faced with a "No Heat" situation the day before the scheduled installation and Greg came out to address it free of charge. Not only that, but he also corrected an installation fault with our smart thermostat that was not part of the original job, again free of charge.

Greg came by to do a routine furnace checkup. He was very knowledgeable and professional, letting me know what's being checked/adjusted and giving me tips to ensure everything runs smooth. Very honest and upfront about what's working fine vs. what may need to be fixed/replaced. He didn't attempt to up sell anything that wasn't necessary. I'm glad to have finally found someone I can trust and rely on for all my HVAC needs - furnace, A/C, and hot water tank.

I'm very happy with the work that was done. Everyone from salesperson to the installers were friendly and professional. They were on time and cleaned up the job site after it was installed. They also answered all my follow up questions promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them or recommend them again.

Thanks to the team at Twin Tech for a great job installing my new heat pump/ac unit. The guys were very polite and professional. When they left you would never have known they had been there except for the new Mitsubishi unit on the wall!! would highly recommend the Twin Tech team.
