Energy-Saving Tips for Summer
Posted On: May 28, 2018
If you think that you are doing everything to possibly keep your costs down on your utility bills during the warmer months, then you should know that there is always room improvement.
We have gathered some great energy-saving tips that can save money and increase efficiency in the coming months! #01.
Insulate your home.
It is a must to visually inspect the different areas in your home to find any leaks.
Windows and doors, plumbing and attic floor penetrations, electrical outlets, baseboards, and exhaust fans are the most common culprits.
#02.
Shade your windows.
Solar heat gain can be blocked by covering your windows with blinds, shades, drapes, and shutters during the day.
Roof overhangs, awnings, and strategically planned trees also do a great job shading your windows from the outside.
#03.
Use programmable thermostat properly.
If you do not have a programmable thermostat yet, then it is a great investment to have one installed.
Once you already have one, set it for energy savings.
When you are at home, program it to 78 degrees.
Create automatic setback periods, raising the temperature to 85 degrees when you are sleeping at night or away all day.
Timed recovery periods will give you a comfortable home after a long day’s work or upon waking up.
#04.
Maintain your air conditioner.
It is a must to schedule an AC maintenance annually with a licensed HVAC contractor.
The filters should be changed, foliage trimmed back near the condensing unit, and the outdoor unit should be hosed down to remove dust and other debris that usually collect on the fins.
#05.
Light your home efficiently.
During the warmer months, longer daylight hours should be taken advantage of.
The sun also does a great job of lighting your home naturally.
When you do need artificial light, go for efficient LEDs or CFLs that use less electricity.
They also generate minimal heat as compared to incandescent bulbs.
Do not forget to turn off the lights when you do not need them.
BONUS TIP: Reduce indoor heat gain.
Help decrease the strain on your AC by waiting until evening to complete heat-generating chores such as doing the laundry, running the dishwasher, and cooking on the stove.
When showering, run the bathroom exhaust fan and keep your showers as short as possible.
Instead of using a desktop computer when browsing the web, use a laptop instead as it produces less heat and consumes less energy.
With Twintech Heating and Cooling, you can be sure to have excellent HVAC experts to help you with any of your HVAC needs.

TwinTech was a pleasure to deal with from the estimate through installation. We replaced a 28 year old a/c unit with one recommended by TwinTech's sales representative Dave who took the time to go over the product with us and answer any questions. The warranty is for 10 years parts and labour and they will complete the registration for you. Installation was by Greg (owner) and Mitch and Spencer who were quick and efficient and left everything clean and tidy.

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !
