What are the best ways to save on energy costs?

There is no denying that each year, our summers are getting warmer and winters are getting colder. For homeowners, the cost to heat or cool a home can be expensive. At Twintech, we have some helpful tips on how to save money on your next energy bill. 

One of the best ways to save money is by upgrading your old furnace or air conditioning units into more energy-efficient ones. Installing a programmable thermostat will also keep your costs down as you can adjust the temperature according to your schedule and keep your home at a comfortable temperature. You can also place weather stripping around the windows during the colder months so that the warm air stays in your home. 

Regular maintenance of your furnace and air conditioner can help cut the cost of heating and cooling in your home. Your air conditioning maintenance routine can include keeping the condenser coil clean by spraying with a gentle hose spray. Always keep your air filter clean on the furnace too, it’s vital to the operation and efficiency of your AC unit. If you need professional assistance, our technicians can come to your home, inspect your units and provide any maintenance you may need. Adding a ceiling fan to your home will help circulate the air so that your air conditioner does not overexert itself and break down. 

If you want to save money on electric bills, switching from an electric water heater to a gas one is the key. Our technicians can install a new gas heater into your home and put in any necessary gas lines. You may also want to consider insulating the first meter of your hot water pipes and any pipes that run through unheated parts of your home. Additionally, you can install an energy-efficient shower head that will not only save water but also reduce the energy that is used to heat it. 

For more information about our products and services, visit our website or give us a call at 1-844-894-6832. We will answer any questions you may have, call Twintech today! If your units require maintenance, we would be more than happy to set you up with an appointment with one of our service technicians.

See What Our Customers Are Saying:

by Ian, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The term excellent or incredible does not seem high enough praise for the Twintech Heating and cooling company that recently replaced our 15 year old furnace. To start with, the response from Dave at Twintech to our original pricing request was the quickest and most professional of the 5 prices we received which included two of the primary natural gas providers. The Twintech pricing was the most competitive by a considerable margin.
We had Dave visit our home to confirm all pricing which he did and scheduled us for next day installation which was not offered my the majority of the other providers.
The installation; the team arrived on time and provided coverings to all of the hardwood flooring and stairs and proceeded with the removal and reinstallation of the new furnace, the workers predicated six hours and were completed in five hours. I have to mention how courteous and polite the workers were each time we interacted with them from start to finish.
The final result was amazing, all materials were cleaned up and removed from the house and the workmanship very impressive.
One feature that really stood out for me which shows a high level of professionalism was that we had various condensation hoses from the furnace , humidifier and an air filtration unit meeting at the one drain, the installation crew ran PVC tubing including elbows along two sides of the furnace to guide the hoses into one PVC tube at the drain, it looks great!
When the install was completed and tested the Twintech technician guided us through the features and recommendation's for care of the new furnace.
We highly recommend Twintech to anyone for the outstanding service provided to us.

I didn't hesitate to call Twintech in for a 2nd time as they did an outstanding job installing my new furnace last year. This time my 18 year old air conditioner was on its last legs. Greg and the team are top notch, highly skilled technicians. The job was executed in a timely and professional manner. Greg was extremely thorough and went the extra mile to make sure everything was operating efficiently. Lastly, Dave is a true gentleman and really made the customer experience pleasurable and worry free. Always remember that good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good.

It's so hard to find solid companies these days, but I was very pleased to find one in Twintech. Greg and his crew were very clean, respectful and professional. We were most impressed at how all the things they said they would do, were done. Sounds strange, but usually when a contractor comes to your home they say they will take care of this and that, make sure this is done, etc but when the work starts you have to constantly remind them of your previous discussions. Greg ensured every item he said he would do was done, no reminders required. The work was done right, at a fair price and on time. We will be sure to call them when our A/C unit dies (fingers crossed that's not going to happen too soon :) )

by Patrick, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Replaced our aging hot water tank with a tankless system. Excellent work, fast efficient and clean.

Walked us through the new system and recommended maintenance schedule.

This is our second time working with TwinTech and we are very happy with the quality of their work and professionalism.

Efficient work and great follow up by the team at Twin Tech. Great product and communication.

by Peter, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.

by John from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.

by Ryan k on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.

by Louise in Scarborough on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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.
