How to Take Full Advantage of Your Heat Pump This Winter

Winter weather is here, and homeowners across the region rely on their heating systems more than ever.


If you’ve invested in a heat pump, you already enjoy one of the most energy-efficient ways to stay warm.


But like any HVAC system, a heat pump performs best when it’s properly used and maintained.


At Twintech Heating & Cooling, we want you to get the most comfort and efficiency from your Amana or Panasonic heat pump all winter long.


Follow these helpful tips to maximize performance and savings.


Keep Your Thermostat Steady


Heat pumps work most efficiently with consistent temperatures.


Avoid large thermostat swings, which can activate backup heat and increase energy use.


Set a comfortable temperature and let the system do the work.


Don’t Block Airflow


Ensure vents, registers, and indoor units have space to deliver warm air.


Move furniture and curtains away to prevent airflow restrictions that strain the system.


Clear Snow and Ice from the Outdoor Unit


Heat pumps absorb heat from outdoor air, even in cold weather.


Keeping the outdoor unit free of snow, leaves, and ice buildup helps it run efficiently.


Maintain a clear area of at least two feet around the system.


Use the Right Fan Setting


Keeping the fan on auto allows the heat pump to cycle air only when needed, reducing energy use while maintaining comfort.


Optimize Your Home’s Insulation


Good insulation keeps warm air inside and cold air outside.


Sealing windows, doors, and attic gaps enhances your heat pump’s efficiency and keeps your home consistently warm.


Schedule Preventative Maintenance


Routine maintenance ensures your heat pump is clean, calibrated, and performing at peak efficiency.


Professional technicians can spot early issues before they lead to breakdowns in freezing weather.


Stay Efficient and Comfortable All Season


With the right setup and care, a heat pump delivers reliable warmth and noticeable savings throughout winter.


If you need maintenance, support, or an upgrade, Twintech Heating & Cooling is here to help.


We proudly install and service advanced heat pump systems from Amana and Panasonic, designed for superior cold-weather performance.


Contact us today to keep your home comfortable no matter how cold it gets.

by Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

by Anna Chin on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Amazing experience with TwinTech Heating & Cooling! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They installed my new furnace quickly and left everything spotless. The technicians took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with the system before they left. Great customer service and fair pricing. I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!

by Connor Agnew on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

by Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

by Courtney Parkes on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Just hired TwinTech Heating & Cooling to do an A/C Unit removal & reinstall to allow for landscaping access on the side of my house, and they were wonderful!
Bob, Greg & Mitch make a great team! Quick appointment times, super knowledgeable, expert troubleshooting capabilities & very customer service oriented.
I would highly recommend them for all of your HVAC needs! Great job guys!!
