Great HVAC Spring Cleaning Tips

How fast time flies! Soon enough, we can once again open the windows to let the fresh air in. We would soon be decluttering our home, clearing it out after the colder months. As difficult as it is to deal with the clutter, don’t forget to include your HVAC units in your to-do list! They are just as important as the other aspects of your home.

 

Here are some important tips to ensure that your HVAC units are ready to be used this season:

 

FILTERS

In order for your AC unit to run efficiently, check its filter. If it’s dirty, make sure to clean it. Keep in mind that dirt and grime can cause your AC unit’s moving parts to freeze up and release dust or allergens into the air of your home. During the warmer seasons, it is best to keep extra filters within reach so you can replace them easily as needed.

 

OUTDOOR AC UNIT

Make it a habit to check around the perimeter of your AC unit. Any overgrowth of plants should be cut and cleared out. If there are any items that might have fallen onto the unit, have them removed. You may also use a leaf blower to clear out any dirt or leaves from inside the screen. Remember, air flow through the screens is essential for optimal usage. You should also take a look at the drain hole on the unit and make sure it is not obstructed in any way so condensation can drain from the unit.

 

DUCTWORK

In older homes, it is common for the ductwork to have imperfections in several areas. Any holes, however, lead to wasted air exchange as well as wasted money. You wouldn’t want that. Patching the holes with caulk or duct tape does the trick.

 

Mold, mildew and dust will build up inside your duct work. It is best to hire HVAC experts like Twintech Heating and Cooling to come to your home and have your duct work cleaned for you. We want to increase the efficiency of your HVAC units and reduce spread of allergens that can cause sickness to your household.

 

AC UNIT

You do not want to be stuck with a non-working AC unit during the warmer months. Avoid this occurrence by testing the unit for a few hours during spring season to make sure that it is working properly. Remember, it is better to be safe than sorry!

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. 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!

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.
