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.

On coldest night of the year our furnace quit. At 8:40 in the morning Greg arrived and gave us a diagnosis and a recommendation. By 2:30 we had a new furnace and were warm again. Great company. Great customer service. Good reasonable price.

Twin tech team was very efficient and prompt. They provided a quote within hours of request and got the job done on time. No disruption to home function. We would highly recommend this team. Job well done.

Our furnace bit the dust, and Twintech came out to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem within a couple of hours. Mitch was super helpful, patient, and answered all of our questions. When we decided to get the furnace replaced, the crew was over first thing the next morning and did a fantastic job. Not only did they complete the job in a few hours, but they cleaned up and respected our house as they went, and answered all of our follow-up questions. I've used Twintech for our HVAC needs in the past and will continue to do so. I'd recommend them to anyone, and it feels good to support a local, family-owned business.

Dave and the Twintech team were fabulous from day 1 and helped us through the process to identifying a new furnace and AC unit. This was our first time through this process and Dave did a thorough job explaining all the components and was very patience answering all our questions. Dave provided great insights and fair pricing.
The Twintech team did an awesome installation. Very clean and efficient. I would highly recommended their service.

We had a new Amana furnace installed by Twintech and we were very pleased with the installation. It is nice to have a warm house again.

Excellent job. Excellent service. Competitive price. Its rare to find a company with the knowledge and professional results we have experienced with Twintech. The clean and neat installation with attention to detail and drop sheers to respect our property is a clear indication of Twintechs high level of integrity. The 1-1/2 gas line upgrade they did for our pool 3 years ago was awesome. Can't say enough. Thank-you Twintech.

Twitch did a great job with the installation of our new furnace. I really appreciated their honesty and I could trust what they were telling me. Another company tried to suggest significantly more work at a greater cost claiming it was necessary to meet current building code. Twintech is very fair. All staff I meet were friendly, polite and trustworthy. I would recommend Twitch for a furnace.

This is a professional team that's easy to deal with. I would strongly recommend them

Very professional firm from start to finish!
They removed the old oil tank and furnace. They installed air conditioning and a new propane furnace.
Professional installation, on time and no mess.
Very pleased with their work and would highly recommend the company. Our house is three stories so they spent the time to do all the calculations to make sure we would have great performance on each floor.
Thank you again!

Upon a routine yearly maintenance, it was discovered there was a leak in the heat exchanger and a I needed a new furnace. I know nothing about these things and was completely stressed out. The company I had the maintenance plan with quoted me a huge number to rent a furnace, I just wanted to cry. Then I spoke to Dave at Twintech. He was so knowledgeable and calming, provided me a fair quote and within a few days I had an amazing crew show up to my house and install my new energy efficient furnace! I have already recommended these wonderful people at Twintech to a good friend of mine. Thank you Twintech!!
