Heat Pumps are Perfect For Durham Homes
Posted On: October 14, 2025
If you live in the Durham Region, you already know how unpredictable Ontario’s weather can be.
One week it’s a deep freeze, the next it feels like spring again.
With those dramatic temperature swings, keeping your home comfortable year-round can be expensive and inefficient—unless you have the right system.
That’s why more homeowners across Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, and Bowmanville are switching to energy-efficient heat pumps.
At Twintech Heating & Cooling, we’ve seen firsthand how well heat pumps perform in the Durham climate.
Here’s why they’re one of the smartest home upgrades you can make.
1.
One System for Year-Round Comfort
Durham’s weather doesn’t believe in moderation.
You need both heating and cooling—and a heat pump gives you both in one sleek system.
In winter, it pulls warmth from the outdoor air and brings it inside (yes, even when it’s cold).
In summer, it reverses the process to remove heat from your home.
The result? Consistent comfort in every season, without juggling two separate systems.
2.
Outstanding Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps don’t generate heat like furnaces—they move it.
That simple difference makes them up to three times more energy-efficient than conventional systems.
For homeowners in Durham, where hydro and gas prices seem to climb every year, that can mean serious savings on monthly utility bills.
A properly installed Amana or Lennox heat pump from Twintech can help you reduce energy waste and shrink your carbon footprint at the same time.
3.
Perfect for Durham’s Moderate Winters
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed for Canadian winters.
They can easily handle temperatures well below freezing—something older models struggled with.
In the Durham Region, where the cold is rarely extreme for long stretches, heat pumps thrive.
Many homeowners pair their heat pump with a high-efficiency furnace for a “dual-fuel” setup, automatically switching to gas only on the coldest days.
It’s the best of both worlds: efficiency most of the year, power when you need it.
4.
Lower Environmental Impact
If you care about sustainability, a heat pump is one of the best home investments you can make.
By transferring rather than generating heat, these systems dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
When paired with clean Ontario electricity, a heat pump can nearly eliminate your home’s carbon output for heating and cooling.
That means you’re not just saving money—you’re helping build a greener future for the Durham Region.
5.
Quiet, Reliable, and Long-Lasting
Gone are the days of noisy outdoor units and constant maintenance headaches.
Today’s heat pumps are quiet, durable, and low-maintenance, designed to operate efficiently for well over a decade.
At Twintech Heating & Cooling, our certified technicians make sure your system is installed and maintained to manufacturer standards—so you get reliability, comfort, and peace of mind for years to come.
6.
Government Rebates and Incentives
The Ontario and federal governments currently offer rebates of up to several thousand dollars for heat pump installations that meet energy-efficiency criteria.
Twintech helps Durham homeowners navigate these programs so you don’t miss out on valuable savings.
The Bottom Line
For homeowners in Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Pickering, and the surrounding Durham Region, heat pumps are a smart, future-ready investment.
They’re efficient, eco-friendly, and built for our local climate—providing seamless comfort through every season.

Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.
Feb 1, 2021
Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.

Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.

When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!

Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!
Feb 1, 2021
I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!

My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.

Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.
Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.
Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!
