Making Your Basement Comfortable
The basement is probably the most overlooked part of any home. Given its’ location, it is easy to ignore. These days you have to ask yourself, with such high market prices on real estate, can I really afford to take your basement for granted? We’ve made a list of suggestions to help make the most out of that prime piece of space:
CLEAN IT.
Because the basement is such an off beaten track in your home, it is so easy to just dump things in it. The fist step to making your basement more comfortable is to clean it. Set a whole day to remove all the clutter and mess so you’ll have a better idea about the space you are working with. You can even make it a family affair and have the whole gang help you!
DECIDE.
Now that you are more acquainted with the place, you now have to decide what you want to do in it. Always dreamed of having your very own movie theater? Now’s your chance! Turn it into a theater or another place where you can entertain guests and family. Take advantage of the big open spaces that your basement has to offer.
Once you’ve made the decision, decorate accordingly. Go as minimal or as crazy as you want! Consider having some renovation work done to make sure you have a cozy space to come home to for years to come.
If renovating is out of the question, make use of your interior design skills and bring furniture pieces into your basement! Let your imagination do the decorating for you.
HEAT THINGS UP.
The basement is by far the coldest place in your home because temperature tends to sink to the very bottom. Investing in good quality heating and ductwork can help make any basement more comfortable. You might think that you can get away with installing a heater, no my friend. Ensuring that your home is equipped with proper ductwork allows your heater to work at its best and eliminates the need for it to overwork itself.
Learn more about the heating options that suite your needs by contacting our experts. Our expert team can find the best heater, furnace and ductwork that suites your needs.
We know that having this much work done for your basement can be intimidating on the budget but you have to remember that quality work and good heating doesn’t come cheap. Investing in heating and ductwork can actually save you more money in the long run and add more value to your property.
LIGHT IT UP.
Last but not least, lighting. Lighting plays an important role in setting the mood in any space. Opt for yellow lighting instead of the traditional white one as this gives any room a cozier, feel especially during winter.
Armed with these tips, you can turn your basement into a cozy space you and your family can enjoy.

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. 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!
Im going to start this by saying Im 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.
Im 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 youre being brushed off.
In summary, if youre looking for PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY results by an EXPERIENCED, THOUGHTFUL team
(that also happen to be FRIENDLY and ATTENTIVE ) then youve come to the right page!!
Once again Twin Tech came through and fixed my furnace. A young man by the name of Mitch came by tonight and he was so nice explained everything he was quick he was clean he turned off the lights even when he left the furnace room its just above and beyond Twin Tech always delivers and I just found out about them last year and I will use no one else but thanks again Mitch you are fantastic
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 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.
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 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!
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.
