Heat Pumps

At Twintech Heating & Cooling we want to be at the forefront of the move towards utilizing Heat Pumps as a primary source of Heating and Cooling your home or building. We have been serving the Durham Region and the GTA for over 30 years now and are excited about the new Heat Pump products now available to Heat or Cool your home, and Heat Pumps are becoming very popular because of available Government Rebates and an overall new awareness by the public about the current situation regarding greenhouse gas emissions.

Scientists say that we are facing an existential problem called Global Warming, caused in part by the burning of fossil fuels to create energy to heat our homes and buildings. The HVAC industry has been a part of the solution to solving this problem for many decades now and is leading the way forward to a greener future. Heat Pumps are nothing new, they have been around for a long time and use the heat of compression and other factors to achieve a COP ( coefficient of performance ) that can be 4:1 over just using electricity alone for heating. Heat Pumps have not been very popular in Canada until now for a variety of reasons, but today’s modern systems are now often equipped with 2 stage compressors or inverter compressors coupled with electronics that enable communication between the various system components in a way that could not be easily achieved before. Today it is very common to see an Oil Furnace and Oil Tank be removed and that old system replaced with an Electric Furnace coupled with a high efficiency Heat Pump to provide Heating and Air Conditioning with no carbon emissions at all.

There are basically 4 types of systems you may consider for your home:

1. ASHP otherwise known as Air Source Heat Pump
2. CCASHP otherwise known as Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump
3. Ductless Heat Pump
4. Ground Source Heat Pump

** Remember, an Electrical Permit should always be applied for with every heat pump installation **
