HVAC 101: Awesome Cleaning Projects
Posted On: May 14, 2018
HVAC systems are important in our daily lives, yet we often forget to take care of them properly (or clean them at least).
You might think that you do not have the skills to clean them on your own, but there are still some things you can do in order to keep them running smoothly.
Here are some of them: #01.
Always check your heating and air conditioning equipment before the start of a new season.
#02.
Inspect and replace your air conditioning and furnace filters every month.
There are many different types to choose from and they depend on your needs.
#03.
Most air conditioners come with a drainage hole on the base of their cabinet, right beneath their evaporator fins.
The drainage hole needs to be kept clear in order for your air conditioning unit to work efficiently.
#04.
Keep your dehumidifier working properly by removing its housing, just make sure to let the unit dry completely.
You should also vacuum every accessible crevice and surface.
#05.
Be sure to clean your bathroom fans at least once or twice a year.
To wash it, take the cover off, use soapy water and clean the dirt off the fan blades with a toothbrush.
Do not forget to turn the power off when you do this.
#06.
The flappers on your toilet should also be checked at least once or twice a year.
If they are showing any signs of wear and tear, then you should have them replaced before they start leaking and wasting water.
#07.
You should also clean all your faucet handles.
Remove them and clean their insides to keep their screws from corroding.
Rust removers often do the trick (use them only when necessary).
#08.
If you have carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, their batteries should be replaced twice a year.
While you are at it, you should also vacuum or dust off the detectors to keep them working efficiently.
#09.
If you have a fire extinguisher at home, make sure it is fully charged.
Put it in a place where you can reach it easily and quickly.
#10.
Your windows and doors should also be checked annually.
Inspect them and if it is necessary, caulk around them.
This helps keep out heat and humidity during the warmer months and cold drafts during the colder months.
It will also save you money on your utility bills all year round! These are just some helpful cleaning tips for some of the important parts of the home that help you live comfortably.
If you have more serious HVAC concerns, then contact us today – our experts at Twintech Heating and Cooling will help you fix them!

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!!

Twintech replaced our aging furnace and air conditioner recently. I highly recommend this company. Their quote was competitive, they were on time and respectful of our home and extremely professional. From the salesman to the installers and the owner who followed up afterward to ensure we were satisfied, we are very pleased with the service. We are looking forward to working with this company for all of our HVAC needs for the years to come. Excellent workmanship and service!

We wanted to get our AC replaced as it was 22-years old and added to this our furnace was costing more and more to repair. So, we decided to get both the furnace and AC replaced.
After going through a few quotes and product reviews we decided to go with Twintech. The three-men crew arrived early in the morning, wasted no time and got to work right away. By 2:00 pm, they were all done. Ive found their work to be top notch and they were completely professional. I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction both during the progress of their work and at end.
I have pleasure in recommending Twintech to anyone who is looking to get their furnace or Ac replaced

Our air conditioner died On a Saturday and within hours Dave came out to take a look and discuss replacement/repair options.
The new air conditioner was installed on the Wednesday. The new unit was installed quickly. The installers were friendly and cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a slight leak around the furnace that night and they came out the next day and fixed the issue. It has been working great and is quieter than our previous unit.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend TwinTech.

I contacted TwinTech to replace my 20-year old A/C. Dave, their service rep, promptly replied and was at my home within 2 hours. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't try to upgrade or oversell their A/C units but suggested the best fit for my small 1000 feet bungalow. Although this was during a heatwave and very busy, they were able to fit me in 2 days later. The TwinTech crew installed a 1.5 ton Ducane A/C unit that is now running smoothly while maintaining a constant cooling temperature. The crew were very courteous, professional and efficient and I will definitely recommend TwinTech to family and friends. I much appreciated your great service.
