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.

I have used Twintech many times over the years. They always arrive quickly and get the issue fixed. The most recent incident was when my air conditioner broke last week I called Greg at 11:30am and he was at my home by 2:30pm he had the unit fixed by 3:30pm. Twintech are very reliable and honest and they are experts in the field. I have already recommended them to many of my friends. I would not use anyone but them for my heating and air conditioning issues.

I would highly recommend these guys, professional, fast and competitive pricing. I moved into this place with no working AC unit with a 8 month baby, he was able to come with in a week to fix even in the busy summer days. He really values his customers , I am already recommending to my neighbors.
Jul 2, 2017
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.
Jun 23, 2017
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%.
Jun 13, 2017
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.
