Heat Pumps are Perfect For Durham Homes
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.

Very pleased with the installation of our new furnace and A/C unit. From quotation stage to the completion of the job Twintech was very professional.
Thank you for a job well done.
My old water heater quit on me. I called TwinTech. In less than 4 days, I had my new water heater installed and the old one taken away. The whole process was quick, easy, pleasant, and well done. This is the third time I've dealt with TwinTech and I've been satisfied each time.
I had them replace my furnace last year. When it came time for the air conditioner this year, I did not hesitate to call Twintech again. I will also have them perform regular maintenance on them.
We required a new HVAC replacement after running the old
system for 18 years.
Dave understood our requirements and gave us a quote that
covered all the necessary items.
Installation was fast and very tidy. Everything works as
it should. Our thanks to Greg, Mitch and others for their
excellent work. Recommend this family owned business to
anyone else, considering HVAC or other work.
I needed a new furnace and A/C to replace my 21 yr. old units, and went to the internet to view potential companies in May, I received 3 quotes,
and chose Twintech based on their salesman Dave who was very detailed and covered off everything on what Twintech was all about,
an extremely dedicated company with so many years of experience, and after reading the on line reviews I was sold on Twintech, who did not disappoint as the installation team were top notch with Greg leading,
I would highly recommend this company without any doubts, in my books they are first class all the way. Our new Amana furnace and A/C are working perfectly !
Flawless transaction. They did exactly what they promised, showed-up on time, cleaned-up, and were highly professional. Highly recommended.
Salesperson and 2 man installation team were all professional and
knew their stuff. All three were friendly and helpful, answering all
my questions. The quality of their work demonstrated their experience
and expertise in their field.
A dear late cousin of mine recommended this company and I have been happy with the service.
We are very pleased with the work done by Twintech. They were very professional from start to finish. Dave came to our home and gave us a very competitive quote for new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. The installers were very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend them.
Great experience getting an old furnace replaced.
Sales Guy (Dave) was great - honest, responsive, and friendly.
The work itself was done quickly and we are very happy with the outcome, thank you! We recommend 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!
