How to Choose a Furnace?
Posted On: March 24, 2021
Is your furnace nearing its end of life? If you answered yes, then it's time to start looking for a new one before it is too late.
When looking into replacing your heating unit, there are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing a furnace. And they are energy efficiency, size, furnace type, i.e., single-stage, two-stage, and modulating, the state of your ductwork, brand name, and, of course, pricing.
These things may seem like a lot to think of and maybe a bit confusing, but at Twintech, we are here to help make the decision-making process a little easier.
Let's start with the furnace's size; you want one that is right for the space you are heating. Larger homes require bigger units, approximately 50,000 to 65,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), whereas smaller homes don't necessarily need large units to work effectively. They only need about 40,000 to 50,000 BTUs.
Of course, if you're unsure about the size you need, one of our experts will be more than happy to help you choose the right size for your home.
Energy efficiency is also essential as a high efficient furnace will help you save money in the long run.
The type of furnace also matters, single, two-stage and modulating. A single-stage furnace only has one setting, heat, and run at full capacity until the thermostat is off.
A two-stage has two settings, low and high, and you control them by can a two-stage thermostat. They are more energy-efficient than a single-stage furnace because they don't always have to run at full heat.
While modulating furnaces are the most energy-efficient between the three, they are also more costly. The heat from these types of furnaces gradually goes up, and because the ductwork remains warm, there is little heat that is lost.
If you plan to live in your home for many years to come, adding a modulating furnace may be a good investment.
Your ductwork is also essential to any furnace type as you always want to ensure that you are constantly checking for cracks. Cracks or damages to your ductwork mean that heat can escape, which can cause your furnace to work inefficiently.
If you suspect any issues with your ductwork, give Twintech a call, we will have one of our experts come to your home and do any necessary inspections.
The brand of furnace you choose can also be important. At Twintech, we carry the following Amana, Armstrong, Goodman, Keeprite, and Ruud. And if pricing worries you, we can help. We offer financing programs that can help you with any costs.
Our financing program starts at a low price of $36.33 a month, and that's not all. Some of our brands come with a limited, lifetime warranty.

Very impressed they arrive to quote even though I had forgotten to call them back to confirm date & time. They showed the day before installation to deliver the unit. Returned the next day as promised at 9am. Project was completed in a professional manner. They even fixed a few things that they noticed were not installed correctly, or to code by previous heating & air contractors we had at our residence before. Would recommend this company to everyone!

Greg removed old oil furnace and oil tank from basement relocated new Napoleon propane furnace to allow duct work to be rerouted to a much more suitable location. Moved air conditioner to the new furnace. Dave recommended two available grants to assist with cost. They kept to their original quoted price which was substantially lower than a competitors for the same furnace and work. They completed the work as stated when stated and left the area clean and tidy. We are very pleased with the outcome.

We had Grant and Greg Dainty quote to replace our 20 yr old furnace. I have known them for years and have had other jobs done by them ( AC and Pool Htr). The price was very reasonable and the job was completed in one day.

TwinTech was the right choice. Our consultation with Dave set the tone. Professional and knowledgeable, we even received a follow-up call within hours of our install completion, wow! TwinTech arrived as scheduled to install our A/C unit. Within minutes of arrival Greg noted and explained a few out of code faults on our furnace installed by another company, problems fixed, thanks TwinTech. Greg, Grant and "Subaru" Pete were meticulous start to finish. Highly recommended!

Twintech replaced our aging +20 yrs old Furnace & AC with the variable high efficiency Napoleon Furnace matched with the Goodman AC. Sales guy ,Dave was great, gave a no pressure estimate, explained about the Government Rebate program which they took care of completely including arranging the home energy audit. On the scheduled day Greg and his team arrived on time, did a great job and completed the same day , extremely professional and courteous, cleaned up everything , tested the system, Greg took his time to explain the setup. Very impressed with the Napoleon Furnace 9600 which did a great job in maintaining a comfortable temperature last winter and now with the hot weather the Goodman AC cooled the house in much less time than the old AC unit could ever. From start to finish Twintech were great and have no hesitation in recommending them 100%.

The Twintech team did an excellent job installing our new Goodman air conditioner. They were polite and professional. Greg was knowledgeable and clearly experienced. Thank you Twintech for bringing our cooling system up to current regulations. Job well done!

Dave from TwinTech was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough in the buying process. He helped us to identify the best furnace for our home and our budget. When we needed a new filter a year later and seemed to have a problem finding the right one, I called Dave up and he delivered a filter to me the next day! The cost was on par with other retailers, but it was this unexpected personal service that really was impressive. The furnace? Works like a charm.

Imagine, it's 5 minutes after the midnight countdown New Year's eve and the furnace quits. We called TwinTech fully expecting to leave a message and actually spoke with Greg, one of the owners! We had an immediate repair early the next morning & a new furnace within the week. We have entrusted TwinTech with all our home HVAC service needs for over 6 years. That's why this week with an opportunity to purchase a new BBQ, we called them 1st to see about a gas line install. It's chicken on the grill tonight! They are efficient, reliable, honest, hard working, and -- attentive is an understatement.

Wonderful customer service, starting from the job quote (Dave), to the clean install, to the follow-up. Twintech is a small company which installed my Napoleon furnace, A/C, John Wood tank, and ran the line for my gas dryer. The installation was completed as promised in one day. The work area was kept very clean, and they even took care of my old rental tank. The professionalism and wonderful customer service is second to none. They completed all of my rebate paperwork, and now I'm getting $2000 back! You will not be disappointed if you hire this company for your project.
