What is a Heat Pump and How Does it Work?
Posted On: July 31, 2019
A heat pump is an electrical device that pulls heat from one place and transfers it to another. This type of device has been used in Canada and around the world for decades. Both refrigerators and air conditioners use this type of device.
Do not let the word "heat pump" mislead you; they don’t just heat your home in the winter, they also cool your home in the summer by circulating warm air, using a refrigerant substance, through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. During the winter, this device transfers heat from the ground, into the home, while simultaneously transferring the cold air outside of the home. Through this transference of heat, heat pumps are able to easily heat your home. The most common type found in Canada is an air-source heat pump. This particular pump absorbs heat from the outdoors in the winter and removes heat during the summer.
Geothermal or ground source heat pumps are also starting to make their way into Canada. Geothermal technology works by drawing heat from the ground and transferring it into energy. This technology is beneficial because it is eco-friendly and energy-efficient.
Finally, when purchasing a heat pump, it is important that you look for the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) safety seal. This seal guarantees the heat pump has gone through several safety checks and testing, ensuring the product is safe to use.

Work was performed in a clean and timely manner. The furnace and metal work was performed by the Twintech team (did not require separate contractor to do the metal work). Energy audit was arranged and promised rebates were received. The overall price was very competitive. We have recommended Twintech to several of our friends and family. Awesome job.

Grant and Greg installed a heating and AC system in our new Linwood post and beam home. Post and beam can be challenging structures for running ductwork and their high ceilings and open concept frequently frustrate efforts at balancing air flow and controlling temperatures. But these guys did it and did it right the first time. Even the building inspector was impressed with what he saw. More importantly, the boys brought a high degree of trust and integrity to the job. Something in short supply these days.

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.

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.
