How to Keep Your Home’s Indoor Air Quality at Optimum

Poor ventilation can decrease your home’s indoor air quality. This not only makes your home uncomfortable but can also pose potential health risks. These health risks may lead to lung diseases and other respiratory issues that can affect both the young and old.

To help make your home a safer environment, we have made a list of tips to help you maintain your home’s indoor air quality at an optimum level. Put everyone’s health on top of your priorities with these tips:

 

  1. Clean your HVAC system REGULARLY

We cannot stress this enough. Making a habit of cleaning your HVAC system not only does wonders to the system itself but also prevents allergens from striving and multiplying throughout your home.

A filthy HVAC system is home to dust mites, mould and possibly even mildew that is distributed through out your home. They make their way into your lungs through the air you breath.
This is one of the main reasons why you should not think twice about investing in a professional HVAC cleaning service. Experts suggest calling a professional to clean your HVAC system’s air ducts once every five years – a fair deal, if you ask us.

  1. Let your home breathe

While it is easy to solely rely on your HVAC system, there are times when you simply have to let your home breathe. When finer (and warmer!) weather permits, open your window and allow for fresh air to come in. This is a great way to improve your home’s overall ventilation.

When dealing with wet and enclosed areas, you might want to consider investing in a spot ventilation system like stand alone fans and exhaust fans for different areas of your home.

  1. Don’t let your car run idle inside the garage

The fumes from a running car increases indoor air pollutants that are extremely harmful to one’s health. A running engine that is on idle can release high amounts of carbon monoxide, which are potentially deadly.

  1. Ask smokers to take it outside

Second hand smoke can stick to your furniture and curtains and can long stay after a stick has been ditched. Experts say there are no safe levels of second hand smoke so it is best to ask smokers to take it outside, if they must.

  1. Put mats by the door

Having mats by the door is a great way to minimize the amount of dust and grime from the soles of your shoes that make their way into your home.

Great Team!

Great Team! Furnace broke in the weekend, Bob visited same day and Greg installed new one on Monday. Team was professional, respectful and knowledgeable. Installation went very well, Greg found solutions to challenges, like hiding new conduits in the ceiling. Looks nice and new furnace is working great. Five Stars.

I used Twintech to install a new furnace for my home.

I used Twintech to install a new furnace for my home. Bob was terrific in explaining the sizing options and why the 2 stage furnace was the best option for me. Greg did a great job installing, clean and on time. Finished work looks great but the best part is how it works. The 2 stage heating is so much more comfortable. I run the fan continuously to keep the indoor air clean. Great investment! Would highly recommendTwintech!

I’m going to start this by saying I’m a very particular customer.

I’m going to start this by saying I’m a very particular customer. My background is in mathematics and mechanical engineering so I have an eye for detail and a respect for technical knowledge.
Greg had already done an AC inspection and replaced a water heater tank and there was no question in my mind who to deal with replacing my rickety old furnace after it got pooched.
Bob dropped in ahead of time and clearly (and knowledgeably) outlined all technical, price and operational options.
Greg showed up on time, on the agreed date and did a fantastic job. (The OLD furnace was a house of horrors and was installed in a keystone cops sort of way- careless.)
The work Greg did was HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL and FAR MORE FUNCTIONAL than what I had.
I’m also a musician with many instruments so maintaining predictable humidity/temperature is extremely important to me. Greg recognized this as did Bob. You NEVER feel like you’re being brushed off.
In summary, if you’re looking for PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY results by an EXPERIENCED, THOUGHTFUL team
(that also happen to be FRIENDLY and ATTENTIVE ) then you’ve come to the right page!!

I had a problem with the Furnace (Armstrong ultra V) and Greg diagnosed it on the phone.

I had a problem with the Furnace (Armstrong ultra V) and Greg diagnosed it on the phone. Even told me what the issue was and I was able to fix it. This level of service from a Business that is almost unknown today.

If you require service, reach out to Greg. I will definitely use them in the future!

We have been shopping for a heat pump for our home.

We have been shopping for a heat pump for our home. We had 3 reps come in and make recommendations and provide a quote. Of the 3, Bob was so clearly so much more qualified, thorough and informed than the other two that the decision was a no brainer. As soon as we get our audit results Twintech will be installing our heat pump.

Installation Of New Furnace And Water Heater Tank

knowledgeable sales person, did not try to up-sell unneeded features,
and was easily contacted to ensure customer satisfaction.
Installation was expertly done by friendly guys, everything explained for use of the products. Old products were removed and returned to rental company as part of the service. Follow up call was received to check all was well. This is my second time using this company as I was fully satisfied with my previous air conditioning unit installation

Twintech 10 Star Furnace Install

Twintech recently installed a new furnace for me. Bob did a great job assessing what I had and needed. All details well explained including the importance of proper sizing of furnace and the value of multi stage heating and the variable speed blower. As a nurse, indoor air quality is a high priority so the variable speed motor running continuous is so good. 24/7 air cleaning. Greg did a great job on install, attention to detail so appreciated. Already notice such an improved comfort and heat. Thank you Twintech! You come as advertised. I will recommend to anyone in need of heating or cooling!

by Walter, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling
Great Service, Great Furnace And A/C - Can’t Get Better Than That

We received various quotes from 4 different companies and right away, the prompt and thorough communication from Bob from TwinTech stood out. He introduced himself, sent sample sites and information, and always confirmed any agreed to dates and times.

Bob was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the topic of HVAC and it was clear he was passionate about his profession. He approached the job as if he was installing in his own home.

Prior to the new furnace & A/C installation, our old units were loud and inefficient - having several rooms feeling too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. After installing the recommended units, all rooms stay at a consistent temperature- even the finished basement.

I highly recommend the TwinTech team - just an outstanding job at a reasonable price point.
