Ways to Save Money on Your Energy Bill

Homeowners are always on the lookout for clever ways to save money on electricity. In our quest, we stumble upon bizarre and outlandish tips that we are almost always willing to believe.


In this article, we talk about some of the most tried and tested ways you can save on your next electric bill. Read on and spare yourself from experimenting with old wives’ tales!


Rug up!


Covering bare floors can do wonders in keeping the cold from entering your home. Not only do carpets and rugs do wonders in heat retention, they make any space more comfortable, too!


Regularly change your filters.


Regularly changing your filters ensures your home heating is running at its most efficient-state. It only takes a few minutes and can save you tons. This is also the best time to see if there is anything loose or out of place.


If you suspect something is wrong with your heating, call the experts at Twin Tech Heating & Cooling. Twin Tech Heating & Cooling provides expert maintenance and repair services in the greater Ontario Area. Pick up the phone and give us a call at 1.844.894.6832 and start saving on heating, today!


Keep the temperature low when you are not around.


This may not sound new for you but homeowners tend to neglect their this tweak before they leave the house –either that or they think it's a smart way to keep the place warm for when they come home.


Failing to lower the temperature when you are away wastes so much energy, thus causing an insurmountable increase in your electric bill. Try sticking a note by the door that reminds you to adjust the temperature just when you are about to leave the house.


Use the microwave over the oven.


When it comes to heating food and leftovers, using a microwave will cost less compared to using the conventional oven. There is no need to preheat a microwave, which means you can spend more time actually heating your food and spend less on your energy bill.


Choose LED lights.


Most homeowners veer away from buying LED lights because of the steep upfront costs. Though more expensive than their conventional counterpart, LED lights are virtually unbreakable and consume far less electricity.


Aside from saving you money from all the replacements, LED lights also leave little to no carbon footprint, which makes switching an obvious and eco-friendly choice.


Wash your clothes with cold water.


Your clothes don't really need heated water so spare yourself from the added expense and just use cold water.


Not only does cold water work just as well as hot water, they also prevent the fibres from expanding – extending your clothes’ shelf life.


These are a few tips you can do to save some money on your next month’s electric bill. These are just tiny tweaks that can add up to huge savings in the long run – which makes trying them worth your while.

by Bill P. Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Thank you for your attention to detail regarding my purchase of a new air conditioner. Twintech arrived at the appointed time and were totally professional on the installation process completing the job quickly. PS thanks for the assistance applying for the government rebate

by Sam C, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave and the guys from Twintech did a great job of installing my AC. They came on time did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves! Do not waste your time call Twintech first.

by Mary W, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My AC unit was not working at all and our furnace that was still working but not giving us any trouble was over 15 years old. So I had 3 heating companies come out to give us a quote on replacing both the AC and the furnace at the same time. Two companies right away recommended that I replace both units simply because they were old. Dave from twintech however suggested that we save some money and replace the AC only because it seemed to him that the furnace was still in great shape and was running fine. He told us that he would have his technicians inspect the furnace thoroughly when they had it apart to install the AC. My husband was at home when the furnace was apart and was very impressed when the tech took him downstairs to personally show him that the furnace was in excellent working condition. He also cleaned the furnace at no extra charge. So now I have an honest heating and AC company that I can highly recommend to other home owners. Great job Thank You!

by Scott B, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had made the decision to replace my furnace and AC earlier this year. After meeting with several HVAC contractors I decided to go with Dave and his company. Dave was on time, polite, friendly and very professional. He took the time to answer all my questions and to explain the scope of work that would be required to do the job. The technicians arrived on time did a professional installation and completed the job on schedule. They respected my home by putting down vinyl runners to protect my floors and did a very thorough clean up. I’m very pleased with my decision to go with Dave and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering upgrading their furnace and air conditioner.

I have no problem in recommending Dave and the TWINTECH team to any home owner who is looking for quality heating and AC products and expert service.

by Eric Y, Greenbank on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.

I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve seen many installs from other contractors and I couldn’t be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!

by Floreene in Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My old furnace had finally broken down for the last time when contacted twintech to have a new furnace installed…They were prompt, knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. They did such a great job i tell all my friends and family about this company.

by Damien McIsaac. Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

To whom it may concern, I recently had TwinTech (Greg and Grant Dainty) replace my furnace and service both my gas fireplaces and air conditioning unit. They were professional, courteous and very fair in their pricing. I would gladly recommend TwinTech to anyone needing work done. I can be contacted at 905-626-XXXX.

by Blair N. - Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
